Is macOS more secure than OpenBSD?
App sandbox, SIP, and the Secure Enclave are awesome, but I don’t know how macOS actually compares to the BSDs these days.

My BSD system is one of the most secure in the world.
...I can't get the damned thing to boot up, no way anybody is hacking in

Security is temporary. Nothing is safe.
Closed Source is demonstrably less secure,
Huge numbers of people are constantly testing and reworking open source security.
Once closed source has a bad encryption found or accepts certain strings for SQL Queries, it becomes a feeding frenzy, and the people who set it up never put any counter measures in place because a small team never had any chance of approaching the vast well of human knowledge on security.
Just look at the news: US Government Facility Hacked, Credit Company Hacked, Industrial Plant Hacked, Proprietary Vehicle Hacked, etc.
