If you say yes, it can be interpreted as “yes I mind”, if you say no, it can be interpreted as “no, I don’t give you permission”. You always end up having to clarify.
Unless you’re a character trapped in a logic problem that dictates that you can only answer yes or no, I can see that being a problem.
But, for anyone existing in the real world, you can always just say exactly what you mean.

I often say “go ahead”. I still find it annoying I can’t just say yes or no without risk of it being misinterpreted
