You're assuming malicious intent where none exists. This feature is a security gain for users — previously there was _no way_ to know if your mic was being used. Now there is. It's giving me extra information I can use to make security decisions, where previously I had none of that information.

It's unfortunate it causes problems for some users, hopefully a fix will be forthcoming, but I believe it's an oversight.

I'm not saying it's malicious, I'm just saying it's a trade-off. Fwiw I understand the trade-off and it makes sense to me even as a Mac user.

Fair enough. I suppose I would characterize it more as Apple not trusting developers, rather than not trusting users.
