It seems like MacOS has been headed in this direction, at least with the App Store apps. But it's a hard problem to elegantly implement without breaking everything.
I still see a lot of Mac apps that basically say "disable system protection first."

I have seen very few apps that do this now, mostly because it's getting harder to make users do this so apps have started to give up.

Yep, it's definitely older apps that have been around longer and the dev isn't as active with it.
