It'd be awesome if this could help with two anti-user innovations in recent macOS:

1) Disable Apple Music, which has the annoying habit of opening every time I touch my headphones, and is not removable from my own computer.

2) Force macOS to remember that I gave Chrome location permissions instead of reseting Chrome after every update.

Safari does this too.. Apple is on some horse about requiring user intervention for every single location request even from sites you’ve already allowed in the past. It’s annoying.
I think the only button on the dialog is like "rememberer for one day" or something, right? Once you've clicked that, go to preferences -> websites -> locations, change the affected site to "deny" and then "allow", and it's permanent.
macOS does not forget that Safari has location permissions. In fact, they're enabled by default. Chrome however has its location permissions reset so often that they had to add a feature to tell users it was off again.
