Perhaps using sandboxing tools, such as firejail and Sandboxie should be proposed?

When untrusted piece of software should be run, the above could reduce risk of disclosing private information/jeopardizing entire OS.

Sandboxie appears to be not open source. Therefore, it is a non-starter in privacy terms.

Firejail | security sandbox

before we would include software like this, we would need to see research whether these applications really provide a solid sandbox, and not just provide a false sense of security.

Windows 10 have a nativ Sandbox Feature since spring update.
No need for external tools
