I smell ARM transition...
TCC in Mojave and Catalina is a bad poorly/undocumented joke that at least in my case needs manual editing of the TCC.db to work right.
I have a suspicion that Apple chose to defer a painful fix in light of their ARM transition. On the MacipadOS they are implementing a new security model that presumably preempts this problem in the first place. Thus I'm assuming their reasoning is that "why fix something that will be fixed by default over the next 24 months"? (Not that I agree with it.)
