A lot of these laws have to do with expected lifetime in "worst plausible storage conditions", like poorly sealed boxes and wrong temperature and humidity

Varies a ton between apps, some use private app storage on Android too (only accessible with root) or in appdata storage (restricted to system apps), or in scattered folders under the regular "user data" folders (easiest by far)

Bonus points if you have an SD card, double bonus points if you manage to have 2 of them, because then you have multiple copies of these standard user data folders

The Win32 desktop environment isn't built to support stuff like "timer coalescing" for all the API calls which all the software is designed to run continously in the background. Changing how it idles would change so many things which all kinds of software depends on that it would barely be the same OS anymore.

Getting humans to do their work reliably is a whole science and lots of fields can achieve it

That says more about you.

There are a lot of cases where you can not know if it worked unless you have expertise.
