This option seems to have disappeared from sight in System Settings > Privacy and Security. Has anyone been able to get it back or shed some light on the change?

You are only suppose to get your apps from Apple........ You know, to protect you from the big bad world......
Hmm I thought it was still there in Monterey, just checked and you are correct, been gone for a while. Thanks!
you're kidding right? there are millions of apps that we can get directly from developers, from 3rd-party stores...

1. Open terminal
2. Type (without quotes) "sudo spctl --master-disable" (you can copy from here and paste it in)
3. Hit return, quit terminal
4. Check the "security & privacy" settings again.
Did that do it for you?

I think the right-click/open and approve is the safest way to go.
there are no inflections on an internet post, it's just text. some sort of indicator helps, ie
The sarcasm couldn't have been more obvious... lots of indicators..there are no inflections on an internet post, it's just text. some sort of indicator helps, ie
and yet, there is also a lot of whining & griping on the forum; sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
indicators help... 🤔
"spctl --master-disable" globally removes an important security feature. I will live with "right-click open" for apps that I really trust.
