But that also gives an sensible explanation - or didn't that also happen to you
when using the color picker?

Otherwise that warning would make sense: QGIS needs to "look" outside it's own
window if you want to pick a color from elsewhere and macOS warns you about
that "recording", because it cannot tell whether the application did that
deliberately or upon your request.

That "screen recording" is related to color picking and mac in some tickets.  Eg.

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/48030
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/51592

So I guess that's ok.  But I've never seen it as I don't use a Mac.
