alt Hacker NewsIt is not about emotion; it is about platform control. Apple limits background autonomy under the label of security, while ensuring only their first-party system frameworks get unfettered ambient access. Standard playbook.

Full disk access is a permission you can grant to software on you Mac, that is not reserved just for Apple, and nothing Apple has said implies they have any intention of removing that class of permission. All they said is that they want users to be fully aware of the implications when granting it.

maybe there is a reason they are called... system frameworks?
This seems like sysadmin 101 to me. Controlling local access and who to trust was always the way. Platform vendors always enjoyed this privilege. Overriding the platform vendors software tools was done with variations kept in /usr/local/ and symlinked to over ride the vendors choices.
