I was paranoid for a long time about things like SIP and SecureBoot but think of it this way. What is the likelihood that you are infected by a bootkit versus some 0day that affects your browser? My main beef w/ rootless/SIP/Gatekeeper and these types of technology is that you no longer own your hardware, you are a slave to the HW manufacturer.

Yet at the same time you get roasted on here if you run things as root. It’s pure bs.. Apple has top notch engineering and architecture. Others always follow.. in terms of hardware, but also software

You know you can disable SIP and Gatekeeper, right? It's just two terminal commands.
