  Isn't that standard telemetry for almost all operating systems?

  Yep. It's specifically an anti-malware service in this case. Used to verify developer certs.

  This forum's PCMR echo chamber tendencies is obvious when Apple is mentioned in a not so good manner, everyone becomes batshit crazy even without verifying their source. As someone who used a Mac before, Apple took security seriously after the Mac Defender malware brouhaha by introducing Gatekeeper and by extending ASLR to the kernel on top of the built in antivirus XProtect. This reminds me when someone made a thread about a security researcher who claimed he bypassed iOS 11.3 USB restricted mode, only to find out he faked it.
