This is very frustrating. As if they couldn't afford to continue it. And at the same time they keep making the system more and more closed, so that you can't even run applications without Apple's permission. I don't understand why people still buy such products.

This is simply not true.

    Ok, then try to run a pre-compiled macOS M1 compatible application on your new Sequoia system, such as https://github.com/rochus-keller/oberonsystem3/ or https://github.com/rochus-keller/leancreator/. Requires quite some tricks so that at least some applications run without Apple's benedictions, but the tricks don't work for all such applications; and as it looks, they will also remove the last remaining work-arounds in future.

      LeanCreator:

      - Unzip archive

      - Try double-click, security error

      - Go to Privacy & Security and click "Open anyway"

      - Try double-click again, it opens fine.

      ObreonSystem:

      - Open DMG and copy all the files to a folder

      - Try double-click, program opens fine but errors because missing files.

      - Uses instructions given in README, running with './ObreonSystem', and program opens without errors.
