You're free to disable SIP, so your post makes no sense.

It's more akin to locking your front door. Keep it locked if you want the extra protection but feel free to crank the door open if you want the breeze to come in, but knowing that more than the breeze might do so.

Have you ever tried modifying the filesystem a couple levels under /?

Last I used a Mac I remember trying to create a new directory in / and writing to /bin (or something like that). I was appalled that Mac doesn't let you do anything other than read-only operations for select paths a few levels under root, and as I remember, there way no way to disable this asinine behavior.

I opt-in to a prison with trade-offs I deem reasonable for what I get out of it. I have a couple of Linux devices too.

Being interested in this project and simultaneously disappointed it requires SIP to be disabled are not conflicting views, even if a little unfortunate for me personally.

FWIW, i like the security without thinking. Yes, I give up freedoms but I gain a lot in lack of cognitive load.

People are free to buy the hardware they feel like.

Given the numbers of UNIX devs that rather use macOS than either pure BSD or GNU/Linux, that prison is quite comfy.

It is just computer.

It's a prison if you base your whole personality on your choice of hardware and operating system.

Seems like all counterarguments to this fact sound like people who aren't competent enough and/or don't understand the basics. There doesn't need to be a higher cognitive load using Linux and security arguments make even less sense.
