This article reminded me of the other major reason I've left OS X, other than five years of shitty Mac hardware which has been covered to death: shitty Mac software. Apple's software has always been on the lowest levels of quality, however, this generally excluded OS X. It's clear to me that Apple intends to remedy that and has already started so with this system protection bullshit that prevents running programs and resets itself on upgrades and possibly at other times randomly (I assume it does so just to fuck with users and show them who's the real boss and owner of their computer). The author of this piece is 100% correct: none of these changes have anything to do with security. It's all about control. Apple, like most companies, just wants to control everything, whether relevant or not. The end goal is to control exactly what software is ran on their platforms, as clearly evidenced by the linked articles. I highly doubt that we'll be able to run any non-Apple approved tools in a year or two. They are turning OS X into iOS and have already renamed it macOS to let people know it's just going to be a walled garden of shit. The only reason to ever purchase an Apple computer was OS X. Now that OS X is turning into a shitty version of iOS, that last reason is gone. And that's before we get into the garbage hardware. I simply don't understand why anyone would want to support this platform going into the future. It's a platform that stands for censorship. Every component on the platform is designed around it. It's no longer a general purpose computing platform. In the future, it will be even less of one. All in the name of "security" and "privacy." Yup, save the children. But plenty of smart people fall for such stupidity.
