The thing I hate about these things is I have no idea why they’re asking this, and no idea what happens if I say No, even how to “manage” these settings should I wish to change it.

The UX is different from the apps saying “Hey, open the preferences panel and give us XXX” and there you can see the app, the capability toggle, decide to turn it on, or even go back to turn it back off.

These experiences have been why I’ve not a big fan of “capabilities” as a concept. The UX around them is awful, and almost has to be.

“Enable <root my computer> to enjoy your new app fully. “ This is what you get if the vendors have any say in what the messages should be.

Not really helpful.
