Would be nice to have something like that, would mean I could use my instruments and other endless usage items on all of my chars without having to bank each time.
Yes please, as a person who plays 8 different characters it would be nice to be able to access my salvage-o-matic, perma gathering tools, more important foods and whatnot without needing to find a bank or hauling the same items on every character.
I’d like this idea and it would actually make me consider all the other permanent items.
However, you have to think of it from ANet’s point of view: Sell one “account bag” per account and potentially sell one of each of the permanent items OR potentially sell any number of said permanent items. They’d probably have to set the “account bag” price high enough to offset the potentially lost sales and with so many possible permanent items, that’s fairly improbable.
They’d lose some money from people buying multiple copies of items (salvage-o-matic, for example) for alts. Would people buying this bag make up for that? Only Anet knows.

I think the money they would gain from the item itself and the other permanent items people would buy because of that bag would be higher than the gold from the “rich alt freaks”

Yeah… I think that’s very likely as well. Also, since this is a shared bag, you’d effectively be losing one bag slot for each alt that uses it — that probably induces you to buy more bag slots for those alts. Again, win for Anet.
In any case, this is probably one of the best QoL suggestions I’ve seen. Moving items between characters right now is hugely annoying.
