I don't want to be protected from myself. As the admin I should have full access to the stuff I buy.

Disabling it is ok but the problem with that is that you lose all security. There should be a way to add our own signing keys to persist changes to the SSV (Signed System Volume) and SIP protected folders. It shouldn't be trust only Apple or nothing.

This is not for you, rather for the kind of people that get Ask Jeeves installed when clicking on popups while browsing the Web.

They shouldn't have the same rights? Just because someone is less technologically aware today, you think it's OK to start stripping away their rights? That's like saying poor people shouldn't be allowed to own a house because they won't be able to afford the maintenance.

You do have full access to what you buy. While it would be nice to both have full access AND the security, that’s still not denying you full access.

The new cryptex mechanism could be used to allow persistent modifications to the SSV (that's how it's done on the iOS Security Research Devices), but no idea if Apple will actually implement that.
