...Who is the original commenter at this point? GP mentioned preferring Snow Leopard, which doesn't have TCC. Cannam and m463 didn't express a preference either way.
m463 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21830357) totally does: they dislike this feature because they edit the path after copying it, so it's giving access to the wrong thing. They're missing the point that earlier versions of macOS didn't have anything at all.
Before moving to catalina, I would like a way to disable it and revert to the old behavior.
Terminal is a trusted app to me.
Actually, I probably won't be moving to catalina. I've been a diehard apple user since I got a G3, but the way apple is going their computers are too nerfed. It's like trying to get excited about buying a car from a rental car trade-in lot.
