15.0 already gave me cold shower with this. I still hope that this 15.1 issue is just bug but writing is already on the wall. People were telling this when gatekeeper was introduced but I was saying that it could be easily disabled.
Many people do not like macos but like the HW. I always liked both but mpb M1 is probably my last mac.
