Apple, as always, seem extremely determined to make sure that they protect things on your computer from being accessed by you.
Apple Intelligence is a great example of this. Everything can funnel up to Siri, but neither you nor any other app on your computer can see what is fed to it by all of the APIs that would provide it data. So anyone who adds support for it is enabling Apple to do their usual slow broken thing with Siri and not enabling any other way you might want to use software or AI with that data.
> protect things on your computer from being accessed by you
This has nothing to do with your access to the disk and everything to do with 3rd party deceiving unhindered access to everything about your life because you installed something like Muse.
Would it really be too much to just allow the user to grant the permission that they want? You already have to jump through special hoops for full-disk access, and there's ALREADY a big warning at the top, explaining that it grants access to things like messages and such.

And so it ends up mattering to us what the rest of society gets in terms of software too.
