Weirdly, an app I purchased on the App Store ran perfectly fine copied to my friends Mac. I wonder why?
Apple stores still need to allow people to connect their iOS devices and maybe USB sticks for photos, but they could have created a “read-only” policy and applied it to store machines.
Of course, these days they just distribute through the app store, and those apps put tentacles all over the place. No USB copies would function.
