90%+ of Mac software I have installed in newer versions needs some broad "accessibility" permission, simply because the OS is too restrictive for an application that wants to do anything even slightly complex. 1Password needs it to autofill text inputs. Zoom needs it for screenshare. iTerm needs it for remapping keys. The OS presents it as "this scary app wants to control your computer!!" when the permission should really be broken down.
