> gatekeeper ... is trivially bypassed

It's almost as if they waste a legit user's time, and developer's nominal fees on certs, notary, etc., for something that malware will not actually be subject to.

Maybe that's a little disingenuous as Apple can work to close gaps, holes and bugs.... But when it doesn't actually stop malware in the real world and honest people need to jump through hoops, the cynic's reading is easy to make.

Similar discussion to be had around DRM. (Punish legit users by default, and bad actors will still find a way.)
