This is false. UWP is literally a sandbox. And Windows also supports containerization.

Most apps aren’t UWP, therefore not ubiquitous.
macOS takes a much more hardline approach to this, which is what’s needed.

Windows containers are crapshot. Unlike linux containers you must match the exact kernel version. And GPU acceleration is iffy, which is important for games.

There is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-pr...
However it isn’t available in the Home release.
Also unlike macOS or iOS/Android sandboxes, it’s not a process level thing, but rather a VM of some kind.
Plus, if it did introduce sandboxing like macOS, you’d see so many people getting pissed off when their applications start asking for permissions, as can be seen in every single thread that comes up here with regards to macOS.
Personally I think every OS should have sandboxing by default (perhaps as an opt out) because no amount of being cautious as a user is enough to prevent application overreach.
