Garmin Express (7.25.0.0) cannot find devices on my 15" M1 MBP (macOS Sequoia 15.3.2)

I've tried uninstalling&re-installing, manually wiped all files and preferences, tried using a dongle in case it was some weird thunderbolt issue.

One thing, the app NEVER asks for permission to read/write external devices.

It won't detect my Fenix 8, nor my wife's FR965.

Surely. I'm not the only one?
