It makes the whole interaction more creepy, moreover, I don't think that a lot of webclient support it (or even Smartphone apps).
It's kind of a dying feature.

I never considered that a consensual request prompt could be considered 'more creepy' than non-consensual spying. What about that interaction upsets you? Simply knowing that someone wanted to do it?
- folmar 6y agoI remember both Roundcube and Squirrelmail supporting them, and they are quite common.
- danShumway 6y agoMy general heuristic is that if people knowing that you're doing something to them would be a problem, then you should at least consider that it might be inherently creepy to do it. The reason people are creeped out when you ask them whether or not you can monitor them is because they don't want to be monitored. Skipping that question and tracking them without their permission doesn't make it less creepy, it makes it more creepy.
