Not my video. Just felt it fits here for more discussion. Personally I do like the idea of more/better sandboxing for apps.

    OS X (now macOS) and iOS have had app-level sandboxing for the last 14 years, at least since 10.7 Lion/iOS 5.

    Nowadays, Apple has even gone to some outrageous efforts to make the OS itself nearly inaccessible to edit without jumping through a bunch of hoops (which, for power users, are simply inconvenient), however there are a few security upshots to this, including keeping novice users from hosing their system by accident.

    Edit: this would, of course, apply to any macOS derivative such as iOS, iPadOS, etc.
