Of course this happens a lot after installing a new machine. Once I have my machine running however, I don't encounter this anymore. I think it has to do with the fact that I very infrequently install new applications.

I've had this happen to me just twice in the past week. One was something to do with Zoom, and one I can't even remember what (I think an app I installed, but didn't run).

In at least one of those cases I was like "you want my Downloads? Fine, go away" because I was in the middle of some task :)
