"Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac"

Huh? Seems like a disingenuous statement. I hope they update that sentence with something more accurate.

However, I've wanted much more granularity and pervasive permissions so I'm glad they're adding them.

Right, the classic use case for FDA is Terminal app, not backups. I don't think backup apps even need FDA, because they use the Apple ASR tool that already has special permissions.
