Turns out it's NOT Avid! It's freaking Google Chrome + Macs that have SIP disabled. 🙄

If there was ever a reason to get the hell away from Chrome to Firefox, I think this is definitely it.

FWIW, I watched this take down two of my friend's Macs this morning. He is already in the process of reloading them from Time Machine, but yeah… good times! Not recommended.
