Doesn't this rather defeat the point? If using a PAT is simpler than using the org token then I'll just use a PAT that has access to every single repository in the org.

GitHub Org admins have the option to block all regular PATs, and only allow fine-grained tokens that they pre-approve. This block is “off” by default, but I expect the best practice soon will be to enforce this rule.

Oh, aside from the pre-approval, that would be really nice. I need stuff scoped to the org that is not necessarily connected to my personal account (and all it’s repositories).
