Is it a regression, though? In the days of Windows, malware was rampant. There was no sense of sandboxing so installs could get deeply embedded and hard to purge. There was certainly the uncertainty of the validity of software when downloaded.
This is not to suggest we should remove this capability from macOS/Windows but I wouldn’t call it a regression.
