To your point though, not everything in Mac can be solved via root user privilege. SIP is annoying to toggle, the main issue being discussed also demonstrates why Mac OS is not the proverbial Hole Hawg as well.

macOS in its default configuration may not be the HH, but if SIP removes those limitations it is still available.
As someone who (a) does some tech support for family, but also (b) uses a MacBook for sysadmining Linux servers, but kind of happy with the current balance. I don't think I've run into SIP limitations, so perhaps I'm not an 'advanced' enough user of macOS (MacPorts generally works for the 'extras' I need on top of base macOS).
