   Am I getting old? "full disk access" used to be something that's supposed to be normal; if you're the owner of the machine.

      This isn't 1980 anymore. The internet is super hostile and everyone wants to extract data. You're still free to allow every app on your computer full access, I won't. I am very glad that none of the hundreds of apps installed across my phone and Mac can access my photos and cameras without permission.

         That's regulatory capture - the only ones who can extract data now are the big corporations and it's sanctioned.
