TBH this doesn't seem a particularly high friction change. It seems very like what we have to do already, or like what we do on OSX.

You are on macOS. Not others. You are following Apple. We don't.
I absolutely HATED the first time I had to deal with it... at least now it works a little better.. but the first version didn't actually tell you that you needed to go into security settings right after to enable the install.
Still not a big fan of it... though admittedly mostly just install stuff via brew/cask more than direct downloads as a result.

...which is so much of a complicated nuisance that most people simply give up. If this will go the way I think it will prepare to have to skip 10 things, write 3 ADB commands and submit a video of you spinning around for 30 seconds just to install your pirated game.
They did not specify what exactly is the new workflow is/what is high friction about it in the post no?
