On: Can't you just right click?

You can run your own binaries locally because they do not have quarantine flags, not because they are locally signed.

You can also remove quarantine flags from anything you download and after that you don't have the right click option either.

For example:

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Absolutely-Not-Malware.dmg

The comment you're replying to is confusing because it's been copied out of context from where it was originally posted, which as a discussion of a mandatory signing requirement on Apple silicon.

Thanks for the correction.

Yes I see now what you mean and with that background Xenadu02's reply does make a lot more sense.

Don't have access to a Apple Developer Transition Kit, so was not aware of the new requirements.
