Yeah but it's one of those useless permission requests along the lines of "Do you want this program to work or not?"

They're pawning off responsibility without giving people a real choice.

It's like the old permission dialog for Android that was pretty much "do you want to use this app?". Obviously most people just say yes.

There's a reason Google changed that.

To be fair I'm sure Microsoft would switch to a saner permission model if they could but it's kind of too late.

It's not a false choice - "Trust" and "don't trust" are both perfectly viable options. The editor works fine in restricted mode, you just won't have all your extensions enabled.
