Enjoy the data loss introduced by randomly mis-identified files not being reported then. Yes, I've had it happen before that data files (not executables) that I fully intentionally stored on my computer were recognized as malware. If I hadn't been alerted about that fact, I would probably have wondered days or weeks later where the file went, with no way of restoring it. I'd never want an operating system to automatically, without notifying me, remove files, no matter how malicious it thinks they are.

If you're using one just accept the fact that an Apple device never belongs to you.
Apple can do what it wants on their devices. You can't.
But you're generously allowed by Apple to pay money for that. Isn't that great?

Stop being such a dramatic hyperbolic person please, tone it down a bit. The PC elitism dripping from you is really off putting, you responded multiple times under this topic just completely disparaging Apple, did an former Apple exec ram into your house with their car or something? Weird seeing this much seething hate for a computer company. Relax.

I'm sorry for you if getting in touch with reality annoys you.
But the issue is on your side.
