I wouldn't know. Even Snow Leopard had more thorough options in a lot of areas, see http://morrick.me/archives/9220 http://morrick.me/archives/9220 . In today's era people don't dare to change from the default configuration if they don't have to. We all know that if some settings feel like Apple doesn't want it, it will be hell (incompatibility with other settings, subtle hints that things won't work because of that, the option will get back to default magically in some occasions, and so on). Heck lots of people don't even change their Desktop picture anymore. I just tried to firewall out Apple's app notarization, using Apple's provided IP addresses, macOS's included firewall (pf), configured from macOS's System Settings plus a configuration file in /etc. Not only my configuration file will be burned down at each update (and rapid security response will probably make it even more deceptive), not only I cannot receive even the courtesy of having my conf file in some "Relocated Items" directory as macOS used to do, but also I notice clearly that app notarization still works in apparently random moments
