Containerization improves this a bit although it's still uncommon on the desktop.
The use case is a bit different on the desktop to begin though. You wrote about it yourself the other day. Users are more careful about which apps they install on the destop.
Mobile apps are more like web apps on the desktop which are properly sandboxed in the browser.

Snap does this out of the box.
Even if people are more careful, it is still crazy that the default behavior is to access the entire filesystem and access and modify everything in the user's folder.
It's a bit weird yes we didn't think of it as weird before mobile apps.
