While the app running permissions of macOS have become extremely obnoxious, you don’t need to disable system integrity protection. After macOS refuses to open an application, open system preferences -> security and there will be a button that says „open app anyway“, which you then confirm via password or fingerprint.
My memory is probably hazy (it's been a while since I used macOS) or it might've been removed but I recall that you were able to hold a key on the keyboard to bypass it as well. You'd have to right click the application, then hold down the key, and while holding it down click "Open".
Said key I believe was the "option" key
It's an extra step in macOS 15. You need to go into System Settings now.
Used to just be able to use the contextual menu to open it and get an approval dialog.
Ah gotcha, that's a bit unfortunate - good to know though!
