Why not the same for Mac apps?

How would Apple enforce that?

iOS apps go through the App Store, so proper behavior can be enforced.

The apps people are complaining about here are downloaded from the vendor. Apple is not involved.

Apple controls the OS and permission system. They could just automatically reject all permission requests with an empty/short reason.
