While you are able to, many others are not. So it's a hassle for those developing independently to distribute their software to the masses.
So yes, you can run the same software (mostly) as in 2010 knowing the workarounds. But as a consumer you are probably missing out on new, great software because developers wont pay the apple tax to make their stuff available. So you're already affected. It's not FUD, you're just not seeing the issue.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWhat are these many others, and what issues do they run into? And what great software are they missing out of? You're making a bunch of statements without providing examples or sources.
- matsemann 6y ago"These many others" I'm not providing examples of are exactly what the article is about. Didn't think I would have to rehash that...: Most people don't know that you can run untrusted programs with right click, or will even dare doing it. What "great software they're missing out of"? Who knows? That's my point! It increases the burden to distribute software for Macs, so as a consumer one's missing out on what could have been. My guess is lots of small open source software won't make easy to install distributions for Mac.
