MacOS isn't locked down, though. He even explains how to work with it. Is it as convenient? Nope. Is it good? Yup! Security or convenience. You get one, but not both. The statement they are terrible and ought to be abolished is stupid and self serving. Yes, as a programmer it ads more steps - but the benefits they bring for everyone else who isn't a programmer (and of who there are a LOT more users) are significant and incredibly beneficial. I used to chafe at the idea that software developers should have to be formally accredited like structural engineers and that software development should have more formality and rigor. But the more whining like I see in posts like this is starting to make me think some rigor and formality is is exactly what we need.
