A bit of extra annoyance. But I understand it. Like here, I’d forgotten people use Calibre as a document management platform.

Simply; because it resides in the system path. Which requires escalation.
I’m not willing to script my user password into an action.

Fairly small files. I regularly deal with much larger ones. The largest on on my iPhone is almost 800mb. Others routinely pass the 100MB mark. Hell, my daily news feed from 9-5Mac often passes 50MB.
As for helping, it doesn’t do anything for those of us using the program as a converter.

Option delete works on MacOS. Which is my usual method from Finder and FindAny.
But that doesn’t work from within most software file dialogs. I wasn’t obsessing. I was pointing out that the “feature” comes with no way to disable.
