It's not just Apple that pulls shenanigans like this.

Try building a Python app with PyInstaller while you have Windows Defender live scanning on, which is the default setting. You won't even be able to compile a binary without Defender preventing you from doing so.

Similarly, try running the binary produced by PyInstaller with Windows Defender on. Defender will say it's malicious and won't run it.

It's a bit dystopian that both major OS platforms go out of their way to prevent you from distributing and running your Python apps.
