I'm skeptical that Microsoft, Apple, and Google have all failed at this, but some dude on HN has a simple solution. I think you need to expand on your concept a bit before I take it seriously.

What does the software solution look like that distinguishes between a crypto miner and a media player?

How can you tell when an app legitimately needs access to files from another app versus being malware of some sort?

Not sure if you're a programmer, but you can have a centralised local service that listens multiple channels over a standard API and wakes up the respective app. Some quota management on top can ensure fair share. And of course, allow the user to prioritise any app they want.

Could you implement something like this in pine phone? I’m not a programmer but if it’s easy as you say, I’m excited!
