I would say that if the user has the checkbox selected in system preferences that ties sleep/screensaver to security (prompt for password on sleep/screensaver activation) they have already answered this question. In this situation any app that calls caffeinate in the background (or uses an API) to circumvent this security settings without informing the user should be considered dubious at best and perhaps even malware. In effect this is disabling that security choice. If the user has not selected this setting in system prefs then there is no issue preventing screensaver from activating. I’d recommend this criteria for the basis of whether to interfere with normal system operations.
