Honestly, I kind of agree with this downvoted post. The MacOS permissions prompts are starting to drive me apeshit. Average user is going to start ignoring them and just click yes to everything anyways. Just like everybody already does on their phones. Reminds me of when Windows Vista came out and they started prompting for permissions like crazy. Everybody hated it. Maybe it was just ahead of its time.
I already granted this permission to Teams on my Mac. It's not malicious now, but when an update comes out in the future, it could be, and I've already allowed it. So this whole thing feels kinda dumb. Nobody wants to manage all this shit, and nobody understands it.
What's the solution then? MacOS is exposing how often these programs are requiring privileged access.
The solution is partly for applications to limit their use of elevated privileges which we can't always rely on. Therefore MacOS is exposing and providing users with visibility and choice.
The user chose to install an application, then had to use admin permissions to choose to give that application more access after installation.
How much additional nanny protection should a user get?
