What would the impact of this be on the average power user? i.e. not someone managing a fleet of devices, but someone who needs to install and use a bunch of low-level tools to get stuff done. If there comes a time when I can't just "brew install" the stuff I need, the Mac becomes useless (to me) as a development platform. If I were simply forced to install stuff in my home directory, I guess that would be okay. I wonder what the story would be for things that (currently) need root or kernel access, though, like FUSE or VMware. I agree with other comments that this particular article seems a bit speculative and overblown, but the Mac has been increasingly locked down for several years now so it's worth thinking about.
