All of these complaints are about security features.
Yes these features could be better implemented, but I'm happy they're there. It's very important to be able to opt out of them, but I like that they're the default.
Notarization needs a cleanup pass and the rest of it seems like it needs an optimization pass.
P.S. The rationale for notarization is to not distribute and thus advertise the filters and detection mechanisms Apple uses to detect malware. If these things were distributed then malware authors could analyze and evade them. Security through obscurity does make a certain amount of sense here as the Church-Turing thesis means there are an infinite number of ways to implement any given thing including malware and there is no single filter or analytical step that can detect all possible malware permutations.

- inimino 6y agoBeing able to run arbitrary software on the hardware Apple has graciously lent me is an annoying level of power that I'm not fully comfortable with either. I'm liable to shoot my foot off if Apple the all-seeing doesn't save me from myself.
- JadeNB 6y ago> the Church-Turing thesis means there are an infinite number of ways to implement any given thing That's true (or else there are 0 ways), but it's not what the Church–Turing thesis says.
