In my experience even when you only use Linux using regular Linux filesystems for removable storage is a pain because of permissions.
Windows permissions are a pain, too.

Is there any single OS in the world which:
1. has only one user, with only one password;
2. before allowing a program to read/write to a file/directory, asks user and then writes down permissions for this program (with hash and full path of the program, so that when the program is modified/infected/updated/moved to another directory, the user is asked about all the permissions again).

Thus, it would be not files which have different permissions; it would be programs which have different permissions.
