That's a perfectly reasonable opinion to hold, but 99.9% of macOS users won't know the difference and will be safer for it.
Some of the folks who know the difference will also be fine with it. FWIW, I've used Little Snitch (only to prevent nefarious third party activity), and its biggest UX problem is that it treats legitimate OS traffic no differently than untrusted traffic.
