It’s quite rare to run into a Gatekeeper warning. Most users probably won’t ever see one. And if they do, they can still bypass it for an individual app using the UI. It’s just a bit convoluted (by design).

I administer a bunch of Macs for a university and I actually block the ability to disable or bypass Gatekeeper and nobody has ever complained about it.

You can disable Gatekeeper entirely using the terminal. They just don’t expose the option in the UI anymore (which I think is fine).

I think I’d be fine if I had to use eSIM (when I get a new phone every few years, I touch the SIM exactly once to move it to the new phone and then forget it even exists until the next phone).

I still like having a physical SIM though and haven’t converted it, even though I could. I like the idea that, if my phone dies, I can easily switch it into a new phone (even someone else’s). I don’t think I’ve ever done that, at least not since the days of dumb phones with limited/expensive plans, but I like to know I could. The only downside is that I have to enter the SIM PIN if I restart my phone.
