It appears that this is a macOS 10.15+ feature. We need to request access, as per: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58670785/which-api-is-behind-the-privacy-feature-input-monitoring-in-the-security-syste

if #available(macOS 10.15, *) {
    // below requests "Input Monitoring"
    IOHIDRequestAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypeListenEvent)
    // below requests "Accessibility"
    IOHIDRequestAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypePostEvent)
}

We're unable to reproduce this issue on macOS 12.0, so I will close this now.
