Even root cannot modify the protected applications (it’s still possible, but it’s a darn intricate process to do it).

A trip to single-user mode or into recovery mode to toggle an EFI setting, right? It's something I quite certainly would do anyway, as I've always imposed some additional organisation structure on /Applications.
To me, /Applications is most definitely NOT a system area, and only barely a place where a capable administrator should not have direct write access.

But that's a different topic altogether.
