macOS isn’t walled…
As someone who has to support MacOS desktop....... It functionally is?
Ok sure, it's not as bad as Android or iOS, but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"
But it is? You can just right click and run any apps from any source on macos.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted on that. It’s factually accurate. You can easily run unsigned code from anywhere on a Mac, unwalled, no problem. I’ve got a SAB / radarr / sonarr / HASS server running on old hardware with a current OS and… it’s great.
Also isn’t Xcode free? So you can literally “simply“ download, develop, and run
