The recommended "Tips for first launch" (see below) is misleading.

It refers to "command-click on its icon in your Applications folder and select Open in the context menu".

In the Apple eco-system, "command-click" refers to the mode key used with, for example, cmd-C for copy, cmd-V for paste, etc., which on some keyboards has a apple icon.

For the instructions listed in "Tips for first launch" you need to use CONTROL-click.
In the Apple eco-system, control-click is what brings up context menus.
It also is generally the equivalent of "right click" in Windows.

Tips for first launch
After installing QGIS, the first launch attempt may fail due to Apple?s
security framework.

For macOS Sonoma (14) and earlier: To enable QGIS, command-click on its
icon in your Applications folder and select Open in the context menu. A
confirmation dialog will display where you need to click the Open button
again. This only has to be done once.

For macOS Sequoia (15) and newer: To enable QGIS, command-click its icon
in your Applications folder and select Open from the context menu. A
warning dialog will appear; click the Done button. Next, navigate to
System Settings > Privacy & Security and scroll to the Security section.
You should see a message stating that ?QGIS? was blocked to protect your
Mac. Click Open Anyway. A confirmation dialog will appear; click Open
Anyway again. This only has to be done once.
