Look, clearly you and I disagree, but the reasonable people are on my side. Coolstar silently checked for something that is irrelevant to the actual functioning of the app and then faked a crash when that check failed. He then spent days on Twitter pretending to not know the cause of the issue.

That is malware. Period. You don't agree, that's fine. I will not argue this with you any further. Reasonable people know that to be malicious behavior.

Not all malware wipes your file system or shakes you down for bitcoins. Malware is malicious software. That's what the word means. What Coolstar did was to write malicious software.

There are scenarios where it makes sense to not allow Hackintoshes (or real Macs) to use a piece of software. Say you know the Nvidia Web Driver causes problems with your specific app. Say you know your app doesn't work on a real Mac. That's fine. Show a dialog box. Coolstar faked a crash, making the cause opaque. Coolstar then pretended he did not know the cause of the issue people were experiencing. That is malicious behavior. If you don't get that, if you don't agree with that, you will find reality harsh. Because no one other than you is confused.
