Seems like a valid complaint to me. Apple is giving themselves privileges to end-around potential competitors on their platforms. Although this is not new.

This isn't something Apple has sneakily reserved for itself. Any process the user authorizes can access PF_NDRV sockets which bypass firewall rules. It's a documented feature of Darwin.

I fail to see the difference. apple authorized themselves to bypass firewall rules without the users input
