I absolutely despise this too. To me, a better solution would be to ask for every possible permission on install… you deny the ones you don’t like and go on with you life …. IF I need to enable those to do something afterwards, then programs just prompts for permission again. The way I’ve dealt with this “let’sPretendUsersAreRetarded” annoyance is to actively add newly installed apps to the “Full Disk Access” list in the “security&privacy”-“privacy” section of system preferences as soon as I install them. Then I don’t have to allow permission everytime I open a new folder.
