My hope is yes, especially as iPad can now pretty much be its own thing. I imagine developers within Apple still like to have their own stuff too?



Apparently Apple's developers already have ways around the current lockdowns in macOS.


Doesn't everyone have ways around? Cmd-click + open for programs, "Run Anyway" or whatever it is called in the Security Preference pane for extensions etc?



Yes, but those are for single-use exemptions. Outside developers can still disable those entirely.


Possibly, but at some point they will need to provide a reasonable way for their developer base to get by. They do depend on the community quite a lot for the popularity and if at some point you won't be able to develop for their platforms you won't. At the moment there is not much to go around (granted I don't do kernel development).


Well, you can disable SIP and AMFI.
