What bothers me even more is the fact that nowadays newly installed apps even need to "ask user for permission to access the {Documents, Downloads, Desktop, ...} folders". This is especially true when using a new terminal emulator like iTerm or Alacritty

If you mean it bothers you because you just want it to work then you’re arguing for apps to be able to litter and scrape however they want and I disagree. If it bothers you because good-faith applications are asking for permission as they’re supposed to but bad-faith ones are getting around those permissions and doing what they want anyway, I agree.
