Blame Apple for being incompetent with permissions for OS X applications. They only have "App Store with a single set of sandbox limitations" and "non-App Store downloads with no restrictions". Where is the middle ground? Why not have fine-tuned permissions to grant a specific application access to the APIs it needs? How hard is it to pop a modal operating system dialog saying "Application X wants to be able to monitor running processes?" It's not. Apple has simply failed to find the middle ground.
