> MacOS also tightens the screws on what you can run and from where, or at least require more hoop jumping over time. Can you explain what you mean by this? I have been doing software development on MacOS for the last couple of years and have found it incredibly easy to run anything I want on my computer from the terminal, whenever I want. Maybe I'm not the average user, but I use mostly open-source Unix tooling and have never had a problem with permissions or restrictions. Are you talking about packaged applications that are made available on the App Store? If so, sure have rules to make sure the store is high-quality, kinda like how Costco doesn't let anyone just put garbage on their shelves

Try sharing a binary that you built but didn't sign and Notarize and you'll see the problem. It'll run on the machine that it was built on without a problem, the problems start when you move the binary to another machine.

  My (very large US company) workplace has their own, branded app store for Mac users. One of our most popular apps is 'Gatekeeper disable'
