It's hard to imagine how this could be accidental behavior. It is much too specific. The only way I could see it being a bug (or incomplete feature) is if maybe there's supposed to be a prompt asking if you want to grant permission first that isn't working. And maybe some sort of permission manager that lets you add/revoke said permissions without a laborious reboot into a diagnostic tool.

Ooops, I meant to drag it onto my desktop, but I accidentally dropped it onto my terminal.

It's very easy to imagine how this could be accidental behavior.

What I'm saying is that the underlying development work necessary to create this feature can't be an accident.

Accidentally triggering said behavior is a different topic entirely.
