Whait until 10.16 MacOS is out. Then you will not be able anymore to open not notarized app.
And for 10.17, Developers will have to pay for notarization, as an "insurance" low quality app will not end on your Macbook.
For 10.18 or 10.19, nothing will run unless it's installed from the Apple store or certified with an enterprise certificate delivered by Apple. Just like on iOS.
Apple has previously expressed frustration about the poor financial performance of the Mac App Store...
They want to bring the iOS App Store business model on Mac in order to optimize financial return on the platform.
It's on par with the T2 ship insertion in new models in order to prevent third party repair (google Rossman macbook) just to be able to ask outrageous prices for minor repair or to push for the purchase of a new model at every random glitch on your device outside of the Apple Care contract or legal warranty..
Beside, in Catallina, they just put the /System folder as a separate partition in read only mode... But even if you can still currently mount it in read-write mode, in a future version it will not be possible anymore, unless if you start in recovery mode, system used by Apple to install new version of MacOS.
Soon, you will have to jailbreak your Macbook, taking advantage of a providential "bug" on a specific version, and lost all unix permission system benefits in order to install third party software (at that point cracked, because all legit developer will either have already paid for notarization/Mac App Store or abandonned the platform), just like on iOS.
It's all writen betweens the lines. They're just going forward slowly enough to avoid brutal outcry from the MacOS power users base and the press.
