But why is Pycharm not having permissions? Is there a way to grant them?

The path had to be manually updated to the expansion of ~/Downloads to my fully qualified home directory. Credit: comment by @GordonDavidson.

While this answer may seem simple/obvious it is not so much for those of us who have been using this feature without needing to make that manual substitution for many years - 14 years in my case.

• The IDE's "Open File" dialog did find this location and used that path. So it's at the least a mini bug that the path found is not acceptable
• I had never had to make the substitution in the past out of fifty times using this feature. I had presumed there were something "special" about Monterey security/permissions going on
