Yes, it’s meant to be useful for El Capitan e.g.

Meanwhile I’ve installed Catalina in a virtual machine (10.15.7) and tried to install LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-12-x86_64-cocoa.dmg from LyX download area. I had to clear the download attributes to get it running. After copying the app to /Applications I started this command in Terminal: xattr -rc /Applications/LyX.app
