To be proactive you can submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

There is more explanation needed. You did not provide any issue details or context. Please read this user tip:
Writing an effective Apple Support Commun… - Apple Community
There are third-party apps than can adjust volumes for apps individually.
You can also send a request to Apple.
I don't feel I should be installing 3rd party apps for such a basic feature.
Thank you, will do.
Feedback would be the way to go here. App developers also have the ability to include volume settings on their apps that could be different than your system volume. You can send feedback to the app developer for a feature enhancement to their app that would allow you to set the volume there if it is an App other than the installed Apple apps on Ventura.

Then don't. FWIW, it's not a basic feature in macOS.
The thing is, it should be a basic feature. Why should I go and find the settings of the app I am using if I could just click the volume icon at the top of my screen and lower the volume of whatever i want. For a OS that tries to simplify its users lives, it's making it more complicated by not having it.

FWIW, having settings for separate apps is more complex than having just a global setting. I actually have two apps that have volume settings for separate apps and I never use the settings. Just to add, I also have TVs and none have separate volume controls for each channel.
definitely should be

You're certainly entitled to that opinion. However, it is not what is currently available. You should let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
Individual volume control per app is not a feature of macOS. I understand you think this should be a basic feature of macOS but it is not and never has been.
If you need individual volume controls there is a nice app called Sound Source that will do the job.
Any app is capable of managing volume controls themselves and can provide the setting to control the volume level for their app. Some apps do that, but most just inherit the system settings for volume. In addition to providing feedback to Apple, you can also inquire with the developer of an app requesting the feature. It is not difficult for them to implement and they can easily update their app with that feature.
Apple does this with their Music app. After you set the volume level in the app, it will remain that way even if you close the app or restart your phone.
Based on your logic if I have 20 different apps open and don't know where the sound is coming from, I will have to search through each app to mute the volume or lower it.
Instead, with my logic, I could just go to the nice volume icon at the top of my screen, show all the apps that are outputting volume and select the one I want to mute or lower.
Thats the whole point.
No reason it shouldn't be a default feature of any OS.
Volume mixers are something easy to implement.
My computer is not an iPhone that only needs 1 master volume control.
Can we have individual volume controls for each app please?
