It's the standard Apple "We will decide what you can run on your own computer, not you" paternalism that we have come to know and expect, and that they have perfected over the decades.

That wasn't the standard on the Mac, and looks like it still isn't. That platform has a strong tradition of utility apps that add to or modify core OS functions, and when I looked up "essential mac utilities" today, I found recent listicles with items like Alt Tab (an app switcher), Magnet (window management shortcuts), and TinkerTool (change hidden system settings - exactly like emoji toggles for iPhone).
The iPhone was a big departure from that.
Hazehover is a new rising superstar. It darkens the unfocused app windows. So I guess it's a dark star ;)
I tried hazeover years ago and dropped it quite quickly. Something about the dimming caused visual confusion for me.
