Pretty sure Apple doesn’t have this capability. What you’re referring too is functionality inside GateKeeper or near GateKeeper.
Which is where Apple marks an application with a specific signature to be malware or dangerous and the OS automatically removes it. This is similar to an antivirus software removing it.
There’s no login functionality, Apple doesn’t see your data and doesn’t do anything on your machine other than remove the offending application. In addition, I’ve only see it used once.

So it doesn't really make sense to argue over whether Apple only has x-ray vision or also the ability to walk through walls yet. Gatekeeper is our benevolent dictator that consolidates power with every update because our connectedness increases the potential for widespread damage from our attackers. And I'm ok with that, but worry we'll regret things later.
