   Why "utter contempt?" It's saying that, even if I know for a fact that I want to give a particular app permission, macOS will treat me a like a child and keep asking me. Because Apple doesn't believe I am qualified to grant permanent permission to any app.

   Another sign that the people in charge of security and privacy features at Apple are out of control and that nobody who stands up for user experience is being heard.

     I know, I know, "security." This shows utter contempt for the user.

     I was just asked to authorize an app that I've used SINCE THE 1990s so it would continue working for a week. And next week I guess it'll ask again?

     You have to let the user say, somewhere, "never ask me again--always allow."
