Use zsh as the default shell on your Mac

Not at all. You've always been able to run your own software. At worst, it's toggling one option off in preferences that stays off forever thereafter.

Not anymore. Since 10.12 Sierra the GUI option to turn off Gatekeeper is gone, you have to use command line to turn it off. And now App Notarization is making it harder still to run your own software.

GateKeeper only applies to software you download from the internet, and only then in a couple of very specific cases.

How so? I can run anything I like via the command line, and right-click -> Open still launches unsigned executables. Sure there are warnings, but that's not hard to get past.

The discussion is literally about replacing the default shell...

I don't see how that's relevant to this subdiscussion, since the switch from bash to zsh won't effect what he's talking about.

Only for local administrator user accounts I believe
