@caseyliss @rileytestut Trial attorneys will often object in court, knowing full well the judge is almost certainly going to overrule their objection, just to assert the objection (and to allow the jury, if it's a jury trial, to know they object).

You don't only object when you think the objection is likely to be upheld.

I think Apple is objecting to vMac (and other such notarization objections) for similar reasons.
