My 2015 MBP is crawling between Safari, Docker, VS Code, and BitDefender (antivirus). Not sure how bulky the JVM is these days. That said, I wish it supported Python.

Why do you even have Bitdefender installed?

A lot of people have it for compliance reasons.

A lot of regulations are actually a lot more reasonable than one might think and refrain from mandating any specific technical measures.

Yet, people always seem to point to regulations to justify all kinds of snake oil salesmen garbage, even if obviously unfit to fulfill the stated objective.

If you are building software for others to consume it is a good idea to have at least some protection. Even it doesn’t ever pickup MacOS malware/virus - it might stop you from distributing that intended to infect other target OS or software.
