Having just upgraded from Mojave to Ventura, I don't really see that they're heavily pushing the desktop OS in the direction of a phone OS.
This is still the most powerful Unix desktop system out there, and there's nothing keeping "power users" (in lack of a better term) from treating it as such.
They've been talking about this for years though, and I think with people like Craig Federighi in place, there's no real danger of further lock downs.

Coupled with bootargs (like amfi_get_out_of_my_way) being broken for multiple OS versions, and it leads me to a pretty clear conclusion.
- sgt 3y agoYeah you are right in that there has been hardening for security. But little affects your typical power user. One could also consider eBPF as "war on kernel extensions" on Linux. I honestly think there should be an eBPF port to macOS.
