> However, I would like to point out that Apple isn't totally wrong here because the accessibility API unfortunately is way too broadly scoped, and because of that you literally get access to everything on the computer like you you can screenshot listen and and move the cursor...

I want apps to be able to do that!

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.

Then they should use an appropriately scoped API, as OP suggested.

		Controlling my computer is appropriate scope for an accessibility tool
