> Even in the default out-of-the-box configuration, Apple isn't exercising editorial control over what apps you can run
Perhaps not in the strictest sense, but Apple continues to ramp up the editorial friction for the end user to run un-notarized applications.
I feel/felt <macOS 15 that right-click Open was an OK approach, but as we know that's gone. It's xattr or Settings.app. More egregious is the monthly reminder that an application is doing something that you want it to do.
A level between "disable all security" and what macOS 15 introduces would be appreciated.
Sure, common apps will be notarized and will not run into any warnings/blocks. It's those apps which are not where we need to dive into the Terminal or Settings.app.
