hmmm maybe it's just me, but an application requesting access to a folder doesn't seem that detrimental to UX right? Imo not something worth stopping the train ride for - but I'll let Chris chime in here too. Either ways, we should add a guard against reprompting after first startup - that seems particularly annoying if the users chooses not to give access. The only reason this is requesting access is to LOOK for any existing backup files - if we do decide this has too much friction, we can just disable the finding mechanism for macOS. The feature can stay as is
