I agree with you that Apple is doing way too much to restrict users. But I also agree with Craig in that I don't see how Apple silicon is useful for them in helping to restrict users.

It is useful as a justification. Not from a technical point of view, but just to support the pathway they have planned and the story around it.

    How is it useful as a justification? I don't see how forced signature verification can be more easily justified on a M1 Mac than on an Intel Mac.

      Yet mandatory signing of binaries is enabled on the ARM build.

      It is basically a milestone; since new binaries are needed, they might be as well as signed.
