The tradeoff between security and extensibility is something which seems to be unavoidable.

But the goalposts have moved a bit. At least macOS is not plagued with malicious processes like was common on windows. Or maybe I'm just careful?

Neither was Windows if you knew what you were doing.

I ran Windows XP for years without antivirus back in the early 2000s and so did others.
