This works completely against what the Network Configuration Prompt was designed for and a user should know when a Network System Extension is being activated on their system. What is the use case for this outside of a Managed Environment?

In a Managed Environment there is a MDM payload options to auto-approve the System Extension prompts. See more about this here. To auto-approve a Network Configuration prompt, this would be an Enhancement Request.
