I’ve never used a Mac, can you not just write your own app and run it?
I do that on windows all the time.

You can. You can also install other package managers like brew.

You can run what ever you want, it doesn’t stop you outright, it just asks you a bunch of times and makes you jump through some hoops if the program isn’t from a verified source. It’s annoying for someone who knows what they’re doing, but arguably a good backstop to keep someone clueless from running something hostile.

Apple blocks even apps that they define as "too old". Like every new version of Macintosh forces every developer to scramble and update their app even though nothing needs to change just so Apple doesn't block them.
