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?
I said it was likely an easy solution. Glad to see my intuition was correct!
I also said it was the “final straw”. No worries at all if you’re not familiar with that expression. It means that there were lots of similar slights previously, and that the event I mentioned, while minor, was the one that finally pushed me to make the decision I made.
