1. I care, because I prefer default setups as much as possible. Third-party software is often a burden.
2. That's bad approach, because it'll be Ctrl+Shift+C in terminal, but Ctrl+C in your IDE. That's inconsistent. I'm usually setting it the other way: Ctrl+C is copy and Ctrl+Shift+C is interrupt, but it's not as good as two different shortcuts.
3. I would say, that it's not only about sudo, it's about other things like revealing passwords in browser, using touch id for passkey authentication, laptop unlock, of course. Those are not strictly developer things, but it's very convenient when it works uniformly. And having some security measure is better than having none, even if it as simple as touch the button, it might cause some second thought. For example few days ago I did a mistake and installed caddy (terrible software, don't recommend). After launch it started tinkering with my system, installing some certificates, and if not for Touch ID, I'd end up with system in unknown state. Probably it'd happily corrupted my system with passwordless sudo.

Sure, I don't disagree, I was mostly saying the whole stuff is configurable and we can tune it however way it's more convenient for us. 3. I agree and I'd want a fingerprint or a proper FaceID (with depth-radar and lasers and all, not just something that can be duped by print photos) on my computers but it's not something that would stop me from buying an otherwise excellent machine if it doesn't have this feature. As for Caddy, let's agree to disagree. :D I will concede that many programs' installers are quite dumb but Caddy itself is excellent once you start it up and it starts doing its own thing.

Installing root certificate into my system without any explicit verbose flags is something malware would do. The developer who thought that's a good thing is the one whose software I'd avoid. His views on usability are completely opposite to mine. What else will he do by default? Listen on 0.0.0.0? Add firewall exception for usability? Create tunnel to the Internet automatically so I can share my work with others without those pesky port forwardings? Some people might like it, but not me, I prefer things as explicit as possible, when it comes to questionable features.
