I would argue that someone who would open a remote access port to the internet with no filtering is exactly the kind of person that Apple needs to protect from themselves

Yeah, it was neat that Claude found this, but Thompson showed an almost criminal lack of security awareness by having VNC/ARD open to the internet

Why does Apple need to protect anyone from themselves? This is the problem with commercial vendors creeping in computing freedom. It is exactly this mentality that people shouldn't be the ones responsible for the hardware and software they own and operate which erodes that freedom.
