    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.

      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.
