Fedora (and I think all the RHEL family) comes with SE Linux by default. Although I'm not that familiar with it (I tend to disable it more often than not) it seems to me like it's addressing precisely that.

selinux isn't used in any meaningful way for desktop software.

The actual solution in that space is Flatpak.

It can't address that when it's disabled, and since it's not a good tool of addressing the issue, it stays disabled
