macOS unable to open any non-Apple application

I run Tor browser occasionally. That fact alone is sensitive personal information about me. It makes me stand out. Someday it might be held against me.

I already expect the ISP to detect my Tor traffic.

But I didn't expect Apple, of all companies, to have a detailed audit trail of every time I've ever opened it, to the nearest minute.

Don’t forget that client IP geolocation gives coarse location, so they have your timestamped track log, too.

Big Sur prevents Little Snitch from blocking these system level connections, and these OS apps will also bypass any configured VPN.
