Unity Hub is requesting microphone access ... !!!??

[Claytonious]

Why in the world?

Hub version 2.4.5 on Mac OS X 11.6.1.

Q: Why is Unity Hub on Mac OS asking unexpected permissions such as access to Photos or Calendar?
A: MacOS Mojave will prompt you to give Unity Hub various access permissions because it is the parent process of your Unity editor projects that use those permissions.

While it says Mojave there, it also applies to newer MacOS versions as Apple has started to tighten up security since Mojave (read this news).
