Love these “why not just do this?” genius suggestions. Why don’t you send them 
your report as a citable paper if you’re such an expert? If it goes exactly the 
IOS way, then I will agree. In case you’re interested,  Check out the book mac 
OS internals by Ahmid Singh. Or the updated version with IOS internals with the 
following link:

You also forgot that el capitan now runs with the underlying metal engine, 
itself which takes full exploit of openCL/GL which makes system calls way down 
in the stack, and giving access to lots more memory spaces that could be 
injected.  They most probably made modifications with that in mind, among 
others. If Apple is concerned about security, this is because they want to be 
ahead of exploits as much as they can, though no system is too vulnerable. And 
having a large number of zombie computers with iCloud systems everywhere is 
like having a pipe bomb in their own living room. Microsoft made the mistake of 
machine code access in their system. I remember my experiences using windows as 
less than stellar to that respect. This said, you can still get a hackintosh 
and pursue a dead end of user experience at some point.

Cheers,
