If I recall, a lot of that was because VAC was extremely paranoid. Many people who ran Python, AHK, or even client-side Source engine scripts would get banned for various reasons without a transparent excuse. I was VAC-banned from CS:GO despite never playing on an official, VAC-secured server in my life. No appeal, no reasoning (I was even using Windows back then). It seems to be a bit calmer now, but VAC is kinda a perfect example. Apple is over-implementing something in a way that prevents legitimate users from legitimately using things. Yes, their efforts here are valiant, but they're also glaringly imperfect. The thousands of unusable MDM-locked machines are evidence that Apple's process here isn't working as well as it should.
