I just want to keep my personal choice. I seldom pass the safety preferences of apple, only so once in a while, and I restore the default settings immediately there after. Step by step Apple is taking over as a advanced Big Brother that knows best, instead of educating people.

I have been purchasing or obtaining non-approved apps since day 1 of my converting to Mac computers. For years, I have used NeoOffice and paid a minor donation to the developer. An option in downloading apps other than that which Tim Cook et al feel we users can handle should be one of the options found without having to use a Terminal command. And if there are apps that are identified as malware or spam, then it would be nice if Apple or some other company could notify users rather than make a generalization that there are bad apps out there.
I have intensely used my iMac over the last 11 years and have never run into a problem with the many 3rd party apps that I have purchased or obtained for free. Give me a break.
A good example in my case is that the upgrade to Sierra will not allow me to run a very important medical program called EndNote. Right now devs are just to lazy to register as an Apple dev and sign their apps. A complete coincidence, of course. Come on.
