IIRC, binaries on arm on osx have to be signed.

I.e. "We raised the walls on our garden further"

Balls to that, if I buy hardware I want to be able to run what I want on it or it's not a general purpose computer, it's something else.

The Macintosh, by design, was never a general purpose computer. It was a computer that Steve Jobs allowed you to use. The Apple II was the general purpose computer that Woz championed.
