Yep this is only possible in windows. Plus since no one reported actually exploiting this issue that means it doesn’t count.

Apple logic

No, we have never said that. That was the anti-Apple people putting that claim in our mouths. We've just said that it was more secure which is still true. This is a minor kerfuffle that is only a risk if one doing it is an administrator and has physical access and it will be closed with a minor update to fix something that was overlooked in this update by someone who was working on this section.

We never say Apple is perfect. We do, however, push back against baseless accusations.
Yes, this case is a bad mistake. It’s focused, it will be fixed and an update issued fast.
We’ve seen striking mistakes from Apple before. They were fixed pronto, and not mitigated into ongoing chronic ailments (like Windows suffered for decades).

What’s striking is how y’all keep coming into these threads just to wantonly badmouth others. Not sure why you enjoy slander so much.
