Hopefully this is a somewhat correct place for this post.

Instead of what feels like randomly popping up prompts to continue permissions for app's requests sometimes daily it seems, I wish Apple would do a once-monthly "security review" notification. Click on it once, and the interface has all the security/privacy measure to review, with check-marks and all kinds of great reassurances. At the bottom is a dismiss button. Hit dismiss and it goes away until next month. In settings, under some advanced menu, you can select "disable all security reviews".

My issue with the current implementation is that when I first get prompted for a new application, I spend a lot of time thinking about what the app *actually* needs, and give it the bare minimum, but if I get re-prompted at random, I might misclick/mis-tap a button with an unintended setting, and finding it the in the settings menu is time consuming.
