Ah, sure, it's annoying but it's never giving new permissions you didn't give it before. And yes "revert to default" is probably not what's happening, but reverting to forcing a specific permission grant when the existing one was superceeded or replaced.

Fair, it’s still an example of them not respecting user configuration

I understand the rationale. The app you granted full disk access three months ago might have significantly changed. You can't reset the permissions for a given app after every update, as you might end up prompting the user three times per week.

Reminds me the days people would write Micro$oft (usually in Linux vs Windows discourse).

It's funny to think that back in the days we used to think the most evil thing a company could do was charging money for their software. Today we even praise some companies because they are "less evil" and they actually charge money, instead of giving the service for free and mining our data (e.g. Fast Mail vs Gmail; or Kagi vs Google).

Either one will opt you out, you don't need both. https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2097746417012166816

allegedly.

You sound like an OpenAI's competitor.

(Just a faintest, without any clue, completely baseless suspicion on my end, just like what you did)

Good point, but "Sudden Human Extinction" would be too long a name.
