> People will say, no, that’s too big a hammer, it’s not safe… but then, like, what do you actually want? Either you keep Gatekeeper because you like the friction it introduces, or you don’t like that friction and you should go turn it off. Pick one, you obviously can’t have both!
Refusing to let you open an app isn't friction, it's complete obstruction. How about warning you and letting you run it this one time or allow it to run normally from there on?
You can still open unsigned apps with Gatekeeper on, you have to go into Settings to whitelist it. I find this extremely annoying, but as I said, that's the point of Gatekeeper, if you don't like it then turn Gatekeeper off.
