What I want is that the software itself doesn't even get a chance to interfere with demands like ⌘Q. There's no reason Chrome should get to decide that it doesn't close until I hold ⌘Q; that way lies all sorts of dark patterns. (Adobe's attempt to seize control of basic OS functions is my bugbear here.)

I don't mind the OS having a system-wide setting whereby I can decide how much I want it to protect me from the consequences of my actions, but that should be a decision between me and the OS, enforced by the OS, not something I have to negotiate individually with every app.

(Same with the menu bar. I choose what goes in the menu bar, and macOS should enforce that choice, not tell me that the software has decided what goes there and I have to lump it.)
