Unrecognized publisher warning in blue box (not UAC) comes up no matter what the software is when trying to install or run.

This is correct and it usually takes some combination of right clicking the installer or holding shortcuts to bypass. It's not obvious how to do so without Googling around.

Right clicking is a Mac thing. On Windows, most of the warnings can be bypassed without any special actions (there are two buttons), the SmartScreen warning requires clicking on "More info".

Moreover, a warning pops up even for signed binaries, until that binary has been installed enough times (?) and Microsoft is satisfied.

Not if you buy an EV certificate. Then you have positive reputation from the start.
