Didn’t Microsoft pioneer the privilege escalation prompts in Vista in 2007? It was a joke at the time how little things would hijack the entire screen to allow seemingly mundane things. I didn’t ever use Vista personally or professionally, but macOS has become pretty bad with basically the same model.

MacOS X prompted users for their passwords in 2001.

Microsoft's implementation was (twenty years later still is) a joke because it prompted users to hit enter or click a button.
