That's just because Microsoft has been there done that already 2 decades ago ;) (IIRC in Windows Vista).
Same with the fine-grained in-your-face permission popups. Introduced by Microsoft in Vista, copied by Apple in Mojave ;)
One more reason for Apple to actually have delivered it properly, given that they had Microsoft's failures to learn from.
