Apple MacBooks and iMacs don't have this side-loading issue like their mobile devices do. You can install anything you want to as long as it's supported on a Mac, and from anywhere you want. So they are more or less a more premium Linux variant. I'm not sure why you came in here thinking this discussion applied to non mobile devices.
The base of this chain I’m replying to says “Apple products”. The comment that I am directly responding to is calling out all Apple users. More broadly the thread is about phones, but this particular side stream was about Apple in general, and I was providing my two cents.
