Like I said, yes, in emacs it is technically possible.
But you still have to redo the keymaps defined in every package you use; and you have to know what they are in the first place.
You can replace single bindings one at a time easily enough. You can't change them all without a two-step effort. We could eliminate step one for anyone, like me, who's is interested.
There's a reason that evil-mode took so much effort to put together, and it still has serious edge cases. I want to make my own original modal editing keymap. I have tried many times, and given up. It's too much work to both see what to change in the first place, and to remove the default; and that's what it takes to just get started!
Picture this: you are learning to use Emacs for the very first time. What are you learning? Today, the answer is C-n, C-x C-s, etc. My alternative is to learn the functions instead. If you don't have an opinion about what key should be bound, then use someone else's config. This way you can actually comprehend your entire configuration! It doesn't need to be mandatory, but I would love the opportunity.
What I'm saying is you can automate a fair bit of this. When a new keymap is loaded, dump it and let the user know of it.
Things are super complicated with this general idea, though, as don't forget that the standard letters are also basic keybindings. People can and do take advantage of that fact. Right? I'm assuming you would not want those to be special cased here?
Ah, my apologies. I took your initial post to mean that even emacs doesn't get what you wanted. You mean largely that it is not the advertised path, even in emacs where it is technically possible. Makes sense.
The level of introspection you can do in emacs is something I wish all programs had. Being able to ask the program, "what were the last commands you saw?" and "what would you do if I did {something}" are huge.
