Some people claim that Mac users can "just right click" to run unsigned software. Apple is specifically, deliberately warning you about malware and exposing yourself, so who in their right mind would ignore the warning, if they didn't already know that it was "safe" to ignore?As a Mac developer, it's nearly impossible to run a viable software business when this is the first-run experience of new customers. After all, ad-hoc signing is specifically designed for running software "locally", in other words, on your own Mac, not on someone else's Mac. As far as I know, it's not intended for software distribution.The Gatekeeper alert for an ad-hoc signed app is actually a bit more "pleasant", albeit more confusing:Notice how there's no longer a Move to Trash button, which is progress!
