You can definitely do that, it just means that userspace can now stall access to things unless you're very careful :) Like, one model (often used by EDR, which is why everyone hates them) is that every operation must be "authorized" so it doesn't go through until some evaluation happens. But this means the kernel has to ask a program for every operation, which is slow.

What's EDR? But yeah, I recognize that there need to be limits. I haven't really thought it through yet, heh.

EDR stands for Endpoint Detection and Response or Remediation.

Think modern antivirus. Less periodic scans and more continuous monitoring for anomalies.
