The critical point: "In macOS Sequoia, users will no longer be able to Control-click to override Gatekeeper when opening software that isn’t signed correctly or notarized," the brief note reads. "They’ll need to visit System Settings > Privacy & Security to review security information for software before allowing it to run."

I feel like a moron, because until now I had no idea you could bypass it by using ctrl+click, so I’ve been using that “System Settings > Privacy & Security” flow the entire time…

Security by obscurity.

In this case it's more the reverse. Insecurity by obscurity since by default its secure but they are making it harder for people to make less secure.

No, by default it is insecure. I don't know where you got the impression otherwise.

Unless you think "user loses control of machine via supply chain attack" is security, which is just... downright Orwellian.
