Huh, that sounds more draconian than I've experienced. I download the
zip, click on it to extract, right click on the .app, choose open,
then I get this warning:

I just click Open and it runs normally from there.

My macOS version is 10.12.1.

It could be that I already had it disabled before upgrading.
