I think we're all struggling to identify any other possible interpretation of, and I quote, "obviously there was a solution, probably an easy one, but I didn’t even look for it". Your words are not ambiguous - you knew this would be an easy issue to solve, and you did not bother trying to solve it. And you say this as though it's someone else's fault.
Should Tim Apple come to your desk personally every morning and ask which MacOS defaults it would suit you to remove? Are we to understand that the obvious security benefits of sandboxing filesystem access pale in comparison to any inconvenience for you, even if that inconvenience is you merely having to bother to open the settings?
You're being totally unreasonable, and you're acting mean when your unreasonableness is picked up on. Learn to take a note, particularly when you're in the wrong, rather than becoming an irrationally defensive ball of spittle and venom. It'll serve you better in the long run.

Dude, maybe take your own advice?
I was possibly being too subtle, but my POINT is that MacOS has turned into a nanny state OS that is not suitable for professional use. You can't install packages that aren't from the App Store without jumping through hoops. And Gods help you if they aren't signed with a key blessed by Time Apple. You can't even use a terminal without granting is special permission. AGAIN, straw that broke the camel's back. You keep focusing on the straw and not the back of the poor camel.
