How can I download an app that is not from "an identified developer." Although I think I appreciate the "paternal" concern, I also resent the censorship. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Trusted Sources: Apple and the Developer:
Well, if something is sold in the Apple Store, I’m always skeptical about getting it elsewhere, other than Apple and the Developer. Why? Because getting it from whomever else could be a phishing scam.
Be Cautious of Providing Personal Info:
If you provide personal information to the seller, then it would be obtained and provided to them right-off-the-bat. So, always be cautious as to where you download and purchase items. If it is sold by Apple, then the Developer would probably be trustworthy.

You can download apps from any source you want on a Mac. You don't have to get everything via the App Store.
Control-click on the app and press Open.
Many thanks to you all for your help and good advice. I greatly appreciate your concern.
