This app just starts some productivity session while forbidding some programs from starting. Is there a Linux and most importantly FOSS version of it?

If it behaves as malware it’s malware in my book. Same reason I consider things like kernel level anti-cheat to be malware.
How the same thing can be done without being seen as a malware?
In my opinion it can’t. The core thing you want to do, prevent the user from running whatever software they desire on their own computer, is fundamentally malicious behavior even if the user is yourself
You can also do it while having a way to stop it, it doesn’t have to be forced on the user. It’s just isolated productivity environment.
