And still others are struggling with, "How do you not understand that Apple is trying to balance the trade-offs between 'allow an app to do anything' and 'protect users from malicious software'?"
I think they could do a better job (e.g., a simple setting in System Preferences that turns off recording notifications), but to pretend that they're doing this for no reason at all or that the orange dot is a show-stopper for a significant fraction of their user-base is just not making an argument in good faith.

Well, look at the other person who replied to my comment:
"Every time this happens a small minority that is affected screams "this is interfering with my workflow" and the majority says "get over it"."
That's not technically untrue, but it fails to acknowledge that there is a tradeoff here. Again, I think Apple could be doing a better job of managing the tradeoffs, but this is not simply the majority saying "get over it". This is the majority saying "it sucks that this change interrupted your workflow, but look at the bigger picture"
I don't think a failure to explicitly note that apple had a reason in every comment is at all the same as pretending there was no reason. Same for explicitly noting that there is at least some reason to "get over it".
