lol, is this serious? The final straw with Mac for me was when I accidentally hit “No” when asked if I wanted to give my terminal access to the file system. All of a sudden I was starting my work day without a working terminal. Obviously there was a solution, probably an easy one, but I didn’t even look for it.

It's hard to take this seriously. It's the most obvious setting possible. Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access > tick the apps you want to have it.

What's even the complaint here? That Mac has solid app permissions, but you can't be bothered to open the settings?

The solution is to enable Full Disk Access in settings.
