Opened by some user Jan 20th and has been hanging fire since then.
I myself encountered this problem when I got my new Mac Studio computer in July and what started as a minor annoyance is now becoming increasingly intolerable.
When the forum was around one could offer bounties to try and lure? encourage? bribe? a developer to fix an issue but those days are gone. Is there some mechanism to offer a bounty these days or has the bounty fallen out of favour because it never was an effective way of encouraging interest?

There's a bounty mechanism. It has never had anything to do with the
forum; it ties somehow to github issues. I know that it's still active
because I believe a small bounty just got approved in the last few days,
and Michael has been working some issues with the integration with
BountySource.
I'm sure that Michael will pipe up with some details, but it looks like
you start by going to bountysource.com.
I started that process, and it looks like it may have created something
that you can post a bounty against (without me logging in or it ever
asking me "are you really ready to do this?").
Take a look at
https://app.bountysource.com/issues/104997612-open-scad-first-time-need-to-confirm-access-to-documents-every-time-for-every-preset
and more generally at
https://app.bountysource.com/teams/openscad
But the real answer, as best I can tell, is that bounties just aren't
big enough to attract attention. I don't know how much a bounty would
have to be to get me to devote time to an issue that I'm not interested
in, but a hundred bucks isn't enough. A thousand, maybe, if I could
knock it out in a few hours, but for some reason there are no
thousand-dollar bounties on small projects. Mostly, stuff gets done
because somebody is interested, has time, and is able to figure out how
to do it, not because they will make lunch money or even mini-vacation
money from them.

I have the cheatsheet, the documentation and the BOSL2 documentation on Safari tabs handy at all times. Indispensable.

I’ve never had this issue, but I keep all my files in DropBox. I use a Mac Mini most of the time and a new MacBook Air the rest.

I have no idea if a bounty will help in this case, as was mentioned
before they have not been a huge success. Although the smaller ones
for more specific issues seem to do better in general.
If anyone wants to give it a go, I'll match the value up to $50 from
the OpenSCAD funds.
ciao,
Torsten.

Before I retired Iwas a professional C++ programmer on £100 per hour so the
bounties never tempt me and I have lost touch with modern C++, so
wouldn't be of any use now anyway.
