Generally I don't get many prompts day to day, if I do it's because something has changed or I'm using a new application and I find it comforting to know what's going on.
You can make rules based on host, process arguments, etc so it's pretty flexible for allowing stuff you consider safe and staying out the way.
Long ago I used zonealarm on windows and it's a pretty similar ux to that.
I still use firejail or docker for anything that might be sketchy, but it's been super interesting seeing what trusted applications are doing. For example I was a bit shocked that the gnome calculator app was making network requests but it turned out it was for currency exchange rates.
