Yes. If something is sufficiently high value to require per-transaction
authorization then initiating transactions itself becomes a privileged
operation..

If the TPP can be trusted to obey the law about this, why not also trust them
to be honest about transactions? Why enforce one thing with access tokens but
take the other on trust? Especially as the actual transactions are more likely
to have a rigorous audit trail.
If we could trust clients to obtain consent we wouldn’t need OAuth at all.
