Maybe it's just me but the idea that my computer lets Apple (+ any LE organizations) surveil my app launches seems so much scarier than any malware.

Why is it scary that your computer checks for malware?

It’s not like Apple us building a database of apps you’ve launched linked to your address and social security number.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious. Schrodinger's sarcasm.
