I've read this sentence 5 times and I'm still not sure what you mean. Can you expound, please?

I'd say that semantics aside, it's pretty black and white: either OSX allows users to install apps as they please, or they don't.

I just mean it's easy to conflate a reluctance to change one's process with changing software capabilities.

I prefer to edit video on iOS over Windows/OSX but it required me to change how I get video editing done.
