Notarised apps are still handled differently and made harder to run than apps from the AppStore

macOS copying Windows and Android is not a consolation in 2026.

yeah they're moving into the wrong direction as well. not to mention that notarisation is for after-the-fact anyways. malware still slips through (historically true!). it's just supposed to shrink the blast radius AFTER apple knows a binary is malware.

what does the scare modal of "are you really sure you wanna run this? could be bad dude..." do?

the only purpose i can see it serving is to push devs to use the AppStore on mac, which is highly restricted in what you can do, and of course, takes 30% of your revenue
