Apple has to do that because most of their users would be arrogant enough to use any rope (freedom) given to hang themselves. Just think of the hidden flag as a master arm switch. In any case, it sounds like a bad idea to be copying in libraries manually when there are probably tools to manage packages (even development ones). You can also have a custom location to load libraries from when launching some executable.
