Macs do have such a toggle. You can boot from the recovery partition, launch the terminal and issue the `csrutil disable` command.
This will turn off all the security features that have been added over the years, including the “Catalina Vista” prompts people were complaining about in September.
The reason this requires booting from the recovery partition is to make it impossible for malware to flip the switch and to make it convoluted enough that even the most gullible of users will question their actions when pushed to do these steps by malware.
(Apple has stated publicly and in very clear language that they fully intend for the Mac to continue to be able to run unsigned code, so I believe this toggle isn’t temporary)
