    Asking for permission to access downloads OS fine by me.

    But what pisses me off to no end is system integrity protection. Want a new system sound? Have to boot into recovery, turn it off, copy the file, sign your new modified system, then turn it on and reboot.

    And every single update will undo your changes.

      Okay but would you prefer the alternative where anything with root permissions (either apps with privileged helper processes or any pkg you ever installed) can modify the OS in whatever way it likes and permanently and invisibly install some kind of malware/spyware?

        Yes.

        Just give me the option to turn it off permanently. I want control over my system.

        It’s good for the idiots who just click things randomly. But I don’t want it for myself.
