To be more specific, the problem is that malware is a separate category from useful and harmless application code that people want to run but that Apple doesn't want to allow for a variety of reasons, but Apple forbids both types of software.

(Focusing on user consent obscures the actual problem; people often consent to running malware. What matters is whether the software to be run is useful and harmless.)

> people often consent to running malware

Ah, but not in an informed way–users don't typically run software they know to be harmful/useless :P (And no, telling them that it is harmful isn't apparently enough to inform them…) But I agree with the first part.
