Why does Apple hate jail breaking?

Indeed, there have been Apple executives who have bemoaned they cannot lock down the Mac in a similar way.

You haven't seen what Catalina does yet.

And this Mac won't likely EVER see Catalina, either.

It's kind of intrguing from an Enterprise support point of view.

It creates a protected system-volume that can't be modified by the end-user. This breaks... just about every advanced piece of software out there. So, losing 32-bit apps is just the start.

...Anyway, the theory is that when you want to redeploy, you should be able to do it the same way that you'd redeploy an iPhone. Instead of having it wipe it and reinstall the OS, you just do a reset, which (thanks to the T2 chip's encryption) revokes the key and then the user-data volume is scrambled, leaving the OS intact. Reboot, create a new user account and as soon as you connect to WiFi it installs a MDM profile that configures all of the settings and installs applications for a new user.

Not sure whether this is totally doable in Catalina or if it's just paving the way for it to work that way in macOS 10.16.

Of course, if you aren't an enterprise IT admin, there are any number of horrific scenarios arising from this setup that will haunt you with the chance that one will brick your Mac or wipe your data.
