b) whether we would need to buy a certificate for that.
I think the answer is "yes, need to buy certificate."
And even that is no guarantee of executables not getting flagged after
downloads, UNLESS there is a large and powerful outfit behind the

If a certificate WAS pursed, with macOS having the greatest need I

That is where I stopped research, having no idea what would be used there.
