So how is it worse than what happens now? These tests are worth a lot to a very small subset of people. The average high schooler (even the bottom 85%+) does not have access to those resources

Apple does JIT assembly, so it would be relatively 'easy' to release a new/factory OS version that has this feature disabled. Take the marketing of this feature down, or mark it as in development, and should be okay? I don&#x
