I downloaded a program for macOS. The OS absolutely refuses to let me run it, falsely claiming that it's "damaged." It is not damaged, Apple just cares more about extracting profit from developer licenses and collecting data through App Store downloads.
There's a dark pattern where you can right click and select "Open," which behaves differently than double-clicking the same thing. This does not work for this program.
I had to run: `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ProgramName.app` to make it work.
Despicable, hostile, anti-user, anti-competitive behavior from Apple.
