Hi Andrea,
I have not upgraded to 13 yet, but on 12.6 my experience is the same as John
Layt's, with no requirement for holding down Option.
I would add however, that I always have to launch QGIS twice after a fresh
install. The first can be a double click, right click or command-O from finder
or a Dock alias that gets me to the "malicious software" prompt. The second
attempt to launch is where you need to do the right or control click the
QGIS.app (or QGIS-LTR.app, or QGIS-DEV.app) as he describes.

So the instructions ("right-click on the QGIS app icon, hold down the
Option key, then choose Open") on the QGIS website [1] are wrong? See a
comment by a macOS 13.0 user complaining that "If you hold the option
key you cannot choose Open" [2].
Moreover, the instructions by Apple at [3] say: "in Finder locate the
app then Control-click the app icon -> Open -> Open". It seems this
worked for a macOS 13.0 user [4].
Maybe the instructions are macOS version specific?
Could a macOS expert propose an improvement to the instructions on the
QGIS website?
Best regards.
