That sounds really not good and abusive. Though I do thing “hijack” is the right word.
Aside from alienating and annoying your viewers what do you hope to accomplish?
it’s simply another way of pointing a user to something different, i.e another offer or something similar to what they came from. it’s no different than having someone at the shop exit offering that person leaving without a buying a better offer before they leave for good.
Is this possible via a plugin?

Yes I’ve seen this being done by a plugin with a title like “decrease your bounce rate”… “by 500%”.

Well you’re not actually letting them leave are you, even if they buy something you still will disable the back button.
yes but they can potentially buy something else right? i guess the only way to tell is by testing it if sales go up great if they go down then it’d be removed

There are plugins to do this kind of thing, but might not exactly disable the back button https://wordpress.org/plugins/wbounce/
