If you intend to use Thunderbird to manage (delete, among other actions) messages in your Gmail account, then Thunderbird will need permission to access and delete or perform other actions on them. Without those permissions, then you might as well forget about using Thundebird (or any other email client) to access and manage your Gmail account. What you're seeing is a result of this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20, but even before this, you've always allowed (and in a much insecure manner for that matter) Thunderbird to delete your messages by configuring it to sign in to your Gmail account.
