It actually is a good _idea_, just not a very realistic one. :-(

Even all the Mozilla based browsers aren't sharing their caches
despite the file format is the same. And it seems as if this wanted by
Mozilla for some reason.

You basically just asked at the wrong place: No Linux distribution has
the power to convince all the browser makers, especially Mozilla and
Google (who both care a shit about distributions IMHO), to do such a
thing. And it's the browser makers where this should start. Maybe the
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) is a better place to dump/plant this
wish/idea.
