I wonder how that works when they are asking to grant permission for an integration with a resource gated by OS or browser, e.g. in this case location data for the Reminders app, or showing browser notifications.

Is the deprecated path that they just don't work without enabling those settings?

And I'm sure every UX person is different. The ones who know it's a dark pattern must have some pretty strong cognitive dissonance with a company that historically sold itself as 'the good guys'.

But there's a whole generation that probably grew up with software that fundamentally doesn't respect you, and this is just normal.
