The prompts appear once per app. The vista prompts appeared every time an app was doing something that required elevated privileges which, back then, was all the time. This issue is totally overblown and, TBH, I like to know what application has access to what data on my machine. If the price for that is a one-time prompt per application, I'm willing to pay that. If you are not and you are willing to forego the security advantage, then use spctl to disable Gatekeeper
