The real purpose of all these so-called 'security measures' which many Operating System software companies have implemented (e.g. dev licences, requiring programs to be signed) is to restrict users' ability to use software written by third party entities in favor of software designed by the OS's parent company. The irony is that these big corporations have become some of the least trustworthy entities on the planet - They have become hotbeds for hackers, white collar criminals and psychopaths. Any random software you can download online is more likely to be trustworthy than a signed software developed by big tech. With big tech, the chance of software being malware (e.g. spying on you) is almost 100%.
