        Being able to run a program on an OS is the bare minimum. Anything not signed by Daddy Apple, you have to add an exception. The moment the exceptions are no longer enough to “protect the user against themselves,” you can’t do a thing. Why? Because it’s a fully closed, walled platform.

        It’s like being in prison and being told you’re free because you can walk in the yard.

          Downloaded apps that are unsigned just need to be approved in settings

          It is clear you don’t know what you are talking about

            You own the keys? It is actually extremely clear that you have no clue about what you are talking about. Re-read what I said.

              I read it, none of makes sense to anyone that understands how computer work

              You argued I couldn’t run anything I wanted, I proved you can

              Go learn how an operating system works

                No. I said the platform is closed. Not that you could not run anything. I argued that while you still CAN run whatever you want, that does not make it an open platform. Apple is one flag away from removing that right from you, and you won’t be able to do jack shit about it if (when) they do. And thank you, but I know very well how a computer works. I also happen to know macOS very well too, and you, you just don’t my friend. You understand marketing.

                It’s ok. Not arguing more than that with a fanboy. I was one of you back in the days. You’ll eventually understand. In the meantime, good luck.

                  I saw your deleted comment

                  You are acting dense on purpose and equating security controls to a walled garden

                  You can disable the controls if you go in to system recovery mode (which will disable protections for the whole OS)

                  Give it up
