This is somewhat possible nowadays with the optional scopes feature.

The only thing missing is making the scopes optional for existing installs but mandatory for new installs.

I had asked Shopify support how to handle the scopes update to minimize app uninstalls at a time when this feature wasn't yet implemented. They had said this:

it's true that there is a possibility some users may choose not to accept the new permissions, which could lead to a loss of subscribers. However, this is a common occurrence when apps request additional permissions.

I'm glad they decided to put an end to this situation and implemented the optional scopes feature. It would also be nice to have the hybrid option I mentioned earlier for an even better user experience.
