Yeah the way macOS handles permissions can be annoying to some but generally the way it places an additional barrier between code execution and ability to read/write files beyond the application files itself is welcome imo. If you accept the admin prompt in windows that code can just run anything. In macOS the first time it'll run the code but prompt again if it starts trying to access the core file system. You may, as a developer, have an expectation some simple app you've downloaded should be able to run in a sandbox quite simply. A random app seemingly unnecessarily trying to access your user/systems files is worth a second thought.
