How is it that there is not an app that is a container and you can run apps in that container and anything running in that container can’t access any data outside if the container.
Maybe even the container mocks up data to make your profile look complete.
It’s pretty common place for organisations with a BYOD policy on they phones to have corporate apps running in a seperate environment.
I have seperate Files, Play store, etc in my work environment. The work Files app can’t see my personal data, and my personal Files app can’t see my work data. I’m not sure how it’s implemented but it seems to be working.

Later Android versions do support this… It’s just called Multiple users (or a work profile but I think you need Google Workspace to set that up).
You can set up a new user as a sandbox for these types of apps and shut them down when not in use.
Because you can’t write apps like that. You don’t have that level of access.
GraphineOS works much like this.
I think the reason Andoid doesn’t implement it is because they want to be able to sell user data as much as anyone else.
Hopefully they’ll eventually support more devices.
Probably not on the roadmap, pixels are just really easy to mod
