Is the right-click -> Open workaround not a thing any more on macOS?

Open -> Click away the error message -> Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open Anyways -> Open Anyways -> Authenticate -> app actually opens

There's a ctrl+open shortcut, if I remember correctly, which may be what the parent comment is referring to.

Nope, they've been making it steadily more difficult with each release. The control open shortcut no longer works.

As of macOS 15 (I think?), that shortcut stopped working, it will just show the same unverified software warning.

Nope, it has been removed. Also God help you if want to run something that needs system extensions..

You will need to boot to recovery mode, go through utility and enable it: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/...

Basically average users will never be able to pull this off.

It requires a trip to a submenu in the Settings app now. You can’t do it simply or easily.
