I guess that's fair, because the name says Player. But still, the way to not use those features is to not use those features. Unlike a third party app you don't need to worry about it trying to read your screen if you haven't explicitly started a screen recording. If you can't trust Apple to do that then you can't trust Apple to block third party apps from recording, either.

- badc0ffee 2y agoThat's not the problem Apple was trying to solve here. I suppose I could see a system where every camera/screen recording access by QuickTime Player forces a popup, because you can't say whether it happened intentionally or due to opening a malicious video file, but that would have to be opt-in for sure.
