Bug report

On my Mac I have to install or update Docker Desktop elevated as an administrator. The hover-over on the greyed out download button is contradictory:

Docker Desktop is running in a folder (/Applications) that your current user account doesn't have permission to modify. Move Docker Desktop to a location you have write access to, such as /Applications.

This implies both that my current user account does not have write access to /Applications (that's correct) and that it does (that's incorrect).
