In the up-coming new versions of macOS, Apple has reportedly removed the Control / right click option to us Open to bypass Gatekeeper to open apps (not that it always worked anyway). Supposedly the Privacy & Security System Settings panel still allows you to bypass it though and it may also still be possible via a Terminal command.
Could be just a hiccup in the latest beat version or it could be a permananet change.
    Apple removes Control-click option for skipping
    Gatekeeper in macOS Sequoia
    -----------------------------------------------
    Gatekeeper gets more strict in macOS Sequoia.
    You'll no longer be able to override Gatekeeper in
    macOS Sequoia with a keyboard shortcut as Apple
    continues to crack down on unsigned software.
    If you try to install apps on macOS that haven't
    been signed or notarized, Gatekeeper gets in the
    way and won't let it run. Apple has removed an
    age-old shortcut for skipping the Gatekeeper prompt
    in macOS Sequoia.
    Until macOS Sequoia, users could hold Control and
    click on a freshly installed app to avoid
    Gatekeeper's warnings about running unsafe software.
    Now, users must navigate to System Settings then
    Privacy & Security to allow the app to run.
    It's a slight inconvenience for users trying to
    install apps from the web, but it doesn't prevent
    them from running the app. In fact, many installers
    include instructions or a direct link to the System
    Settings page, so the Control-click shortcut hasn't
    always been necessary.
    The change is likely meant to protect non-technical
    users from being instructed by malicious installers
    to bypass Gatekeeper. The extra steps requiring
    actions in System Settings can create a higher
    barrier to entry for such attack vectors.
    Apple, of course, recommends that any app destined
    for macOS that is distributed outside the App Store
    be notarized. The process scans the software for
    security risks and gives it a ticket for Gatekeeper
    to treat it as a trusted app.
    Some see this as a direct attack on web-sourced
    software that Apple is babying its customer base with
    nanny-like protections. In the end, it is just an
    extra step that could prevent someone from running
    malware and does nothing to stop people from running
    what they want on Mac.
    macOS Sequoia is due to release later in the fall. It
    could launch alongside iOS 18 shortly after the
    iPhone 16 announcement in September.
