yeah, 'cause that's so much easier than just saying yes to the prompt, or right-clicking and selecting open from the context menu

In macOS 15, there is no GUI bypass. Right click -> Open no longer works. xattr is "the way". I'm sure someone has probably created an Automation or something for it.

There's a small section in System Settings that they don't really tell you about that pops up when the OS blocks a file from opening. You can then override the block there. Yes, it's extremely annoying.

I have an alias set in my shell for `xattr -d ~/Downloads/.{dmg,zip,z}`.
