I suspect this is a UI decision rather than "we would like to spy". Say you're a person who wants to use Discord's special key commands (from other comments "push to talk" and similar?), then Discord can have a dialog that says "would you like to do this?" which is then followed by the linked dialog, or they can just use the OS dialog (to avoid double-dialog to the user). It seems that they've gone for the latter, but I think I've seen this which means they haven't done even the most basic usage gating (I've never used any kind of audio in discord, so PTT etc shouldn't be being attempted).
You could reasonably argue that this is an API shortcoming on macOS - there's no real way that I'm aware of to add a global key handler outside of accessibility APIs, and those APIs basically just let you do nothing or listen to everything and then filter the events in your app.
