@lapcatsoftware @joe It’s more nuanced than that. If there’s a security bug, and we assume Apple will get around to it someday, without SIP they would fix it in some other way. Wi5 SIP, that is the way they consider it fixed.

@saagar @joe "we assume Apple will get around to it someday"

I don't assume that. ;-)

In any case, it's merely hypothetical speculation. There's no real-world argument that disabling SIP is worse than pre-SIP without real-world examples of post-SIP bugs.

Also, Apple can be publicly pressured. Disabling SIP is supposed to be an outlet for "You can always choose to run any software on your system," which becomes a lie if Apple sabotages that.
