I think the biggest issue with creating something like ZoneAlarm, which I always found annoying, but I do agree on the premise you're asking about. An application based firewall would be nice. The problem is that anytime a new application wanted access to the internet, it would pop up (annoyance) and then also have to ask for the admin password, since firewall rules are system wide.
