Apple has often asserted that software obtained outside their walled garden will do things behind your back on the phone, like using your phone to send spam or collecting your data. I do not agree with this assertion as it implies anyone not playing in their garden is a criminal, but I'd assume these types of behaviors will use that as an excuse. Apple can't put the genie back in the bottle with macOS, they've been trying though. True root requires a special boot sequence otherwise you really only get pseudo-root. They introduced the AppStore to macOS and it was a huge flop because of how restrictive they made it. Microsoft also tried the same with Windows S on ARM devices and eventually were forced to allow disabling S mode. Again, I think there is this impression that I agree with any or all of their behaviors. I don't, I'm only reasoning about why and how in some cases it might be one part of a deterrent. Nothing stops me from jumping over a fence, so why put it up to begin with?
