The one that I find really obnoxious is granting permission to read from a “removable” drive. Like the one my steam library lives on.

How often do you face that? I would think the OS would save your response in a way it could refer back to.

Frequently. The problem is it’s per app not per drive. I had my entire homedir on there for a while but the prompts just got to be too obnoxious.
