You can still fiddle with macOS. Though it's getting harder, with SIP and whatnot.

Still, disturbing that the URL includes "archive".

OTOH, they recently open sourced the iOS flip side of what's open on macOS. So who knows.

You can load kernel extensions with SIP enabled: the extension just needs to be “soft-approved” (i.e. you need to be in the developer program and explain why you need a kernel extension to Apple; no stringent requirements like the App Store review process obviously). With SIP disabled you can load extensions that have not gone through this process.
