Actually there is another way to reset the permission besides running tcutil reset.

Simply go to Security and Privacy and turn the permission on then back off :)

What happens here is the UI displaying the permission state is buggy, but the permission actually works. It's just hard to see its state.

Buggy UI, modern Apple...

By the way there is another problem with that UI. The checkbox is blue when on and grey when off... but only when the window has focus. When the window is not focused it's grey in both cases. Different greys but still greys. And if you don't spend all day looking at checkboxes in Mac OS, you may forget if left or right is on.

And this is on Sequoia not <the low contrast update>.

Edit: I wonder if a reboot would also make security and privacy read the status properly. But it would ruin my uptime, so I'll let someone who has an OS update to install check :)

Edit 2: And I just noticed. I have a TB drive hanging off my Mac Mini and my games are on it. So there's a bunch of games in security and privacy (mostly crossover entries, but also for example euro truck simulator which is native) because they requested access to "removable volumes". No shit, they're installed on said removable volume.
