I get what you’re saying and I hate that I had to write it like that. Was saying it to point out that Mac’s just aren’t as locked down as other Apple devices so won’t be subject to the EU ruling anyway.

The entire argument is stupid anyway.

They do limit you without a certain (hidden) key press if the developer isn't on a trusted list.

AFAIK it uses certificates for that, kinda like a more aggressive form of Windows' User Account Control.
