What is subjective about objectively saving time in your workflow? Or saving space that you can save more of your precious photos?
Also why should I care about worst offenders, that's not a coherent argument when discussing this specific offender.
P.S. Also, in what kind of world subjective perspective doesn't matter for the subject?

What part of your workflow requires modifying the system volume on macOS? As a long-time power user of macOS, I don't even need to disable SIP. I've worked my workflow around the limitations.
macOS and Linux power users are two different species. One will work around the restrictions imposed by the overlords, the other will beat the system into submission.
Of course you can also beat macOS into submission, but then you're in for a bad time.
The part where I can eliminate the workflow of investigating and killing some misbehaving background process by preventing it from launching.
Or when I changed popup symbol pickers to insert symbols faster, which you can't do now since those symbol files became protected.
A few I don't remember whether it was SIP or SSV, and then many I'm not even aware of, they just haven't been implemented by other people due to these restrictions.

Ok, so you're just not that power, but this is not about you, can you imagine other people can do different customizations?
Your defeatist attitude to customization is common, but that still doesn't explain why you think it doesn't matter
The argument is that your customization is fighting against the tide. If you want to remain happy using macOS, it’s better to go in the same direction as Apple. And Apple really doesn’t want you to disable SIP.
