Excellent breakdown of the control vs. autonomy tradeoff. The continuous authorizaton model is critical but I dunno if most security teams realize how much it shifts the burden from policy definition to policy evaluation at runtime. We're basically asking RBAC to become context-aware at machine speed which is a huge archietctural leap for most orgs.
You're absolutely right. I also think a derivative implication of this, is the need to apply policy in an automated manner, in response to context signals. Humans struggle to compose - in the best of times - fine grained authZ policies. The world of agents will make that almost impossible to be handled by humans.
