I'm confused what the vulnerability is. Does macOS have some specific function for protecting key material, that it's unexpected that if you execute user-privileged code locally, outside of a sandbox, it gets full read access?

Yeah macOS security is capability based rather than purely identity based. So if you don't pass the required entitlements to an application then it cannot do stuff like read from the system keychain even if its running as your user.

Maybe they should have spent the money used to buy its stupid name from a band on additional testing instead.

Not sure these guys realize that the quality and latency of those Apple services in MacOS is way lower than SOTA and not too many people use them because of that…
