That exists on linux under flatpak, but it requires Wayland and Pipewire. Also many packages just request full system permissions rather than update to work in a sandbox.

It's in the works and one day we will have it but progress is slow.

I really like openbsd's pledge. It's nice when you look at the code and see the program restrict itself to a smaller set of operations. Not everything in ports has adopted it, and the point is moot for closed source. But for the latter, VM and an isolated segment would be the proper solutions.
