Well, it pretty much is. Apple cultivates such kind of approaches by design.

  This literally has zero to do with Apple aside from the fact that the project runs on macOS.

    The FUSE maintainer (and this article) implies that kernel driver signing certificates are so difficult to get that forking is not realistic, even without considering the technical issues. I don't know if that is true, but if it is, then that is a certainly due to Apple policies. It's also interesting to contrast with Linux FUSE, which to my knowledge has never been associated with any maintainer drama.

      I don’t think getting a signing certificate is all that difficult if you can demonstrate that you’d use it for something that Apple approves of.

        Doesn't matter. Apple is a gatekeeper, and that was exactly my point. They cultivate such kind of approach, and maintainer becoming a gatekeeper simply mirrors their own attitude.

        It is not easy to get certificates for OSS.
