I don&#x27;t get that point. &quot;Normal&quot; users won&#x27;t (and shouldn&#x27;t) disable SIP. Those who do need to for security research won&#x27;t really care that Apple knows they&#x27;re poking into the system (when you disclose a vulnerability, they&#x27;ll know who you are) and for the very paranoid, you can disable network or block connections to Apple or etc.<p>It&#x27;s a strawman argument because for security researchers, there is never a problem of &quot;we can&#x27;t let them know we&#x27;re looking&quot;. There&#x27;s also no evidence that Apple phones home the status either.<p>And re:&quot;barrier of entry&quot;. Who should we be protecting?
Amateur security researchers or mass users? As an amateur security researcher I&#x27;d happily allow my job to be 10x harder if it makes users even 2x safer.
