    That sounds like it was a bug / mistake than a deliberate decision by the company unless I misunderstood something?

      Information about every executable your run on "your" laptop goes to a special server belonging to Apple. It must be a huge and costly mistake...

        Nobody is saying that the malware check is a mistake.

          But it is.

            No it isn’t. Most apple users rely on apple to protect them from threats.

              The best security you can get is in prison. I wonder why people don't want to go there. /s You can implement malware check in many ways. This one is the worst; it also introduces a huge attack surface.
