Which is why Apple introduced this kind of thing - to try and limit or block malware and viruses, etc.
This is simply part of the many layers used to prevent viruses and malware from getting onto the system.
Back in the days of PPC macs didn’t get viruses (because why bother? :) )

- rgovostes 6y agoWe're talking about a 20-year-old operating system here, what motives could one possibly have? Classic MacOS never had widespread malware to the extent of Windows worms like Melissa or ILOVEYOU, a claim backed up by your link. It's very plausible that the reason for this was that with far more users, Windows was a more attractive target. There is a reason that Bill Gates wrote the Trustworthy Computing memo and not Steve Jobs. (I doubt MacOS was actually more secure by design at that time.)
- olliej 6y agoI was joking about the relative lack of value in targeting PPC era Macs.
- Talanes 6y agoI assure you: no-one in this thread is as motivated as you are.
