Android also shows that it doesn’t work because developers are idiot, and are requesting too much and/or don’t handle denial of permissions gracefully.
On Android that’s currently not fixable as they decided not to sandbox the applications. With something like Flatpack that’d be easily fixable by giving the user the choice of allowing a permission - or allowing the permission to a dummy resource. You could then even offer to have a dummy resource shared between a bunch of applications.
it’s weird that android and ios already provide this but THE container standard doesn’t
