Again, the point is it should be an OS level setting and apps should respect it. Just because apps can be hostile to user intentions doesn't mean we should allow or worse advocate for that.

I don't see anyone advocating for hostility. Merely the observation that wishing it away is naive.

Well that's odd, since I don't see anyone 'wishing it away' so much as stating apps should respect OS settings and it's reasonable for that to be an expectation of well behaving programs.
