On the face of it, your feature is not useful.

It allows for more fine-grained privilege separation. That is very likely
to be useful to certain, um, TLA markets, shall we say. Even ordinary
users now have a need to run potentially hostile code in a sandbox, just
as part of normal web-browsing. That need might have to develop in more
complex ways in future.

But on the other hand, those increased levels of separation are probably
needed in a less hierarchical, more matrix-connected way. I.e.
capabilities might be more relevant, rather than privilege rings.
