If that future ever happens there will be much gnashing of teeth, but, well, we're not there yet. Apple's been threatening to do that since the iPhone was released and they still haven't, so while SIP is way more annoying to disable in Ventura compared to the big cat days before it existed, Apple hasn't actually done this terrible thing that we're all afraid of.
It's not impossible for Apple to try something like that, but looking at the client side CSAM debacle, and Apple's backtracking on that idea, I think that a future rev of OS X that's locked down to end consumers just isn't going happen. I'm not saying it's impossible or that we can stop being vigilant, or even that Apple's a good business partner (they're not. they really seen to hate enterprise for whatever reason).
But the day Apple makes that move is the day Apple loses their way again. Which they seem to have found again, judging by the number of ports and the keyboard on the M2 laptops.
