While that is good, to many warning pop ups also aren't good. As if you always need to click through 5-7 warnings/permission windows, you might not notice when a bad one sneaks in to the middle.

It's a difficult problem to navigate, especially as you need to have it work for such a big and diverse audience.

Too many popups is really Windows' issue. It's not that all the bullshit companies do doesn't require you to authorize it; it's that anything you install needs effectively the same permission and you're basically conditioned to ignore it.

Apple's version where it tells you what it wants permission for is much better.

That’s a theoretical issue. In actuality, I haven’t faced anything close to windows level pop ups. I think Apple has struck the right balance personally and I would definitely not want to go back.

That's really good. I don't personally use Appel for computers, so I never seen how they do it.

That's a very polite way of saying that part of the target audience are idiots.
