If libraries didn't exist could not be created today. People tend to say that "it is impossible" when it actually only needs to be well organized.

Splitting git tech-monopolies it is a survival need. Or we do it, or we will end up with a collapsed society. Entities that spy on all citizens and gatekeep access to news and services are contrary to basic human rights and democracy.

MacOS has been moving to a more locked down model over the years - increasingly difficult to install unsigned applications, SIP, etc.

> Windows

I think Windows is incredibly impressive for its ability to run binaries from many years ago, but I don't think there's much people would point to as a positive regarding Windows’ approach to app security.

Yet life in Windows land is perfectly fine in 2026 and has been for at least 2 decades. If Windows, which started at the bottom of the barrel security wise can make it, surely we can have more modern OSes that make freedom bearable?
