So the instructions ("right-click on the QGIS app icon, hold down the 
Option key, then choose Open") on the QGIS website [1] are wrong? See a 
comment by a macOS 13.0 user complaining that "If you hold the option 
key you cannot choose Open" [2].

Moreover, the instructions by Apple at [3] say: "in Finder locate the 
app then Control-click the app icon -> Open -> Open". It seems this 
worked for a macOS 13.0 user [4].

Maybe the instructions are macOS version specific?

Could a macOS expert propose an improvement to the instructions on the 
QGIS website?

Best regards.
