    Especially modern macOS, macOS has become…too distrustful of the user IMO. Maybe even as a pathway to getting their user base used to a locked down OS on a Desktop/Laptop for future expansion of that walled garden.

    Sure, windows has system accounts with permissions levels above admin, like SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, like macOS. But the difference is you can take control of one of these “Uber Admin Accounts”, macOS does not.

      The amount of times where I encounter an app being “too old” to run on MacOS, for the sole reason because Apple said so are too numerous.

      Nothing you can do then. If Apple says you can’t then you can’t.

      At least on Windows it lets you fuck up and do things that Microsoft didn’t intend to.
