Apple’s “Security and Privacy team clearly has too much say in the overall macOS experience” feels right to me: https://www.macworld.com/article/2101369/overzealous-security-is-wrecking-the-mac-user-experience.html
If you install software with an old-school Installer — as I did earlier today — MacOS has a nice feature to move that Installer to the Trash when you’re done. But that was added before the current granular permissions regime, so the Installer now requests access to your Downloads folder first.
