It would be great to be able to publish a singular Power BI app that is shared to a wider group, and to be able manage access to specific elements/reports in the App (which may be sensitive) to a specific privileged user or group. So, instead of only restricting rows (RLS), we could also have a report tile disappear altogether in the Power BI App for unauthorized users.

RE: Restrict access to specific reports in a Power BI App

Without this feature, the use case for an app is limited to very specific cases, which I have yet to come across in the reports/dashboards/apps I have been assigned to develop. I will have to either create duplicate workspaces and share apps with duplicate reports and dashboards, or I will have to share each individual report/dashboard separately (negating much of the usefulness of dashboards in the first place).

It would be great to inherit Report level access on App as well to not show the specific report page on left pane for reports a user does not have access to.

This is a fundamental requirement. How else can it be done?
