I for one am super happy for these permission dialogs. They help me know which apps are doing what and tell them, no, you can't do that! Going from the old model, a native app can do almost anything to the new model, a native app has to ask permission means that yes, there is a one time issue of having to give all apps the permissions you want them to have. That happens just once though on this transition. Normally it would happen once or twice a month as you install new apps.

I'm all for them as well. Forced me to reconsider some of the apps I have installed having not previously known what they were doing. Example, bartender needs screen recording. While Im sure it's 100% safe, I still don't trust giving an app that permission if its going to be running all the time. Just seems like an unnecessary attack vector. Seeing some people say 'if you were fine with it before...' - well that's the thing, I wouldn't have been fine with it before if I had known.
