macOS has been revoking access to stuff like this over the past decade. Things like unfettered access to modifying the OS went away with Gatekeeper and System Integrity Protection. "root" access is no longer true root on any Mac, and the user is treated like a prisoner. The UAC-esque prompts that come up in macOS would make Vista-era MS so jealous.
root access is also no longer true root access on a lot of linux distros that are immutable, and container-esque like interfaces such as namespaces + cgroups also limit roots power.
