Btw, I just realised that it can be read as sarcastic, which I
didn’t intend. I am honestly curious, even if skeptical. I am

BTW you can run into this issue even only considering Unix/POSIX: POSIX ACLs, AFS, NFSv4.

I can see the point of a very simple base API with system-dependent extensions, but am likewise skeptical that one can be designed that isn't useless.
