    HotCakeX In short, nothing changes in terms of user expectations or security.  The flag is more for controlling the code flow (just use code path 1 in place of code path 2) but the end-result is same.

     

    Windows defender is not a pre-requisite for Edge's SmartScreen so it works on Mac too.
