Precisely the kind of hidden feature that makes it easy for power users to bypass the "rules" Apple imposes on the platform, while still making it highly likely every day users won't know how to bypass the rules meant to protect them.

More and more, I find that these sorts of "we know best" attitudes towards security utterly distasteful and the total opposite of empowering. Infantilizing, more like.

I want that for my mom on her macbook pro. had an ipad, prefers laptop form factor.

What I'd like is upon setup it asks if this is a dev machine, and change the preferences.

These rules do not protect the normal user. At some point they fail to install something they want to have and then my phone rings because their OS is shitty.
