The moving step is not intuitive, read other comments, it's also redundant in a better designed system. And of course it's not completely gone, but leaves plenty of garbage behind. And of course you have no control over it

Think almost all of that is purely visuals. For example, there are many Windows apps with blurry fonts due to poor dpi support, and that's not common on Macs. Otherwise it's mostly about... the visuals again, but in the hardware s

How is it permission denied if the app is running as admin? The OS "handled" it by giving admin app admin access. Sure, it was tricked by the user input, but that's what the fixes are for?
