>This makes me wonder how open source is supposed to work on macOS. It isn't. Apple's view of the world is that computer users are non-technical consumers who need to be protected from others and themselves, and that Apple are the ones to offer that protection. Open source is antithetical to this view because it puts the responsibility on the user, which is the last thing Apple wants. I can sympathize to some extent with this view. There's obviously a large (perhaps majority) share of computer users who it describes - just not small/independent developers/hackers. Those users are better served elsewhere.
