Yes but miffing to open Privacy & Security & see dozens of apps pretending to need “accessibility” features. Apple has a dozen+ categories there but many poweruser apps I want specifically need accessibility.

Is there an opinionated reason not to break out capabilities?

If you have a disability and need tools to use your computer the last thing you want to do is have those things not only off by default but complicated and involved to turn on.

Is there a reason a capability has to be covered by only a single permission? Why not have one accessibility permission that covers all that and then a bunch of individual permissions for non-accessibility apps?
reply
Apple doesn’t provide another API for this, so apps have to use the one that’s available.
reply
Then they should use an appropriately scoped API, as OP suggested.

Controlling my computer is appropriate scope for an accessibility tool
