I mean, macOS has a lot of issues but the one hoop needed to run any unsigned app is "right-click app icon, click open".
Sometimes it won't let you even get to that step without going into the settings and finding a secret security notification that it blocked it from opening
Yeah, and in rare instances, you’ll need to take the app/binary out from the quarantine
I guess that is true, yes. I do think it's generally a good thing that they're locking down specific permissions like that though.
