macOS just makes you jump through a hoop every time you run an application that’s not notarized.

In practice that means cross platform open source projects don’t want to pay money to join apple’s developer program and set up code singing and deal with certificates.

So after download an unsigned app, macOS refuses to start it until you go to system settings > security > and allow.

You have to do this again after every update.

It’s very annoying and does very little for security.
