So, some people are suffering the consequences of their free descision to run known dangerously unreliable programs, and everyone sensible enough to not run them has to pay the price.

A.k.a. this is why we can't have nice things.

It’s already difficult enough, unless Apple removes the option completely I don’t see how this improves anything. Users don’t read prompts.

My understanding is that Meta Muse simply opens the System Settings Full Disk Access pane, and the user has to enable it themselves using System Settings, which says, "Allow the applications below to access data like Mail, Messages, Safari..." and which requires an administrator password to change.

Thus, I'm not sure what more Apple can do here, but I'm definitely afraid of what they're going to do.
