Having to right click the app (only the first time btw) to open it if it’s unsigned seems right to me even as a power user. If the app is “Mozilla Firefox” and it’s suddenly unsigned I’m going to want to figure out why.
Same with UAC, I used to foolishly disable it completely but one day I opened a sketchy app in a moment of stupidity and it escalated to install a bunch of malware. I never would’ve given it admin, since it didn’t need it, but I’d turned off the dialog. The dialog definitely would’ve been a wake up call.
It’s not always babysitting to have your computer go “hey does this seem right?” Especially when it’s designed like gatekeeper to get out of your way the second time.
This is true for a lot of the new protections. SIP is a really good thing. I can modify the system if I really need to, but I want to know for sure when that’s happening.
