So you're kinda looking for a "I want to allow this software to do whatever it wants - I accept all risks?" button? And with each new update you're re-evaluate?

Yes.

No. Hope that helps.

"I want to allow the software to talk to devices on my local network", not "whatever it wants".

I've never had a case of this where the access was malicious, and devices on my network have security controls. For me this popup is exceptionally low value.
