I think they're referring to disabling system integrity protection, which I've admittedly had to do for some specialized use cases that I can't remember.

I've been using a Mac since 2012 for all manner of work and personal use cases. I haven't needed to disable SIP to do anything in quite a long time. I used to need to do this to install kernel extensions for audio, but this is no longer required for systems that support AudioKit.
Basically, I don't see any impediments to doing anything I need to do with SIP enabled at this point. I'm not sure what GP thinks the impediment is.
Regardless you still had to do it. Anyone that doesn’t do it is in a restricted use case for the machine. That’s my point which I made clear in my original comment. Disabling it allows you to use the machine outside of restriction. Fancy that!
I’ve had to disable it a few times but for niche stuff. I like to run LittleSnitch and monitor all outgoing network connections.
