Did we lose our way in making efficient software?
You don’t have to pay to do that on MacOS, they can bypass the warning saying it’s unsigned and that the developer can’t be positively identified.

Apple should really provide free codesigning for free/open source software.

(almost) everyone has an SSL certificate for the web. An OS could check if software is signed with one. And maybe display a warning for only domain validation.

What does software being signed signify? Does it mean it's vetted? Can a malware author pay the $X and have their malware signed?

No, Apple will detect and suppress malware as part of the vetting process.

Ah, so they do vet? I didn't realize, thanks.
