MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?

Can anyone confirm this? Because honestly this is just terrifying. I don't think even Windows authorises every process from a server. This doesn't sound good for both privacy and speed.

Privacy it may be a plus since in theory notarization provides some protection.

Speed, definitely not, this is going to make things slowwwww

> provides some protection.

That's security, not privacy...

Although insecurity leads to less privacy as well.

Sometimes, but sometimes security measures lead to less privacy. Say, if executing local programs sends information to a remote server.
