Historically, one could not bind on privileged ports (<1024) without using a PriviledgedHelperTool.
Since macOS Mojave, it seems we don't need it anymore. Very good, but is this behavior change official and documented somewhere ?
I haven't found any official information (just this link on news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18302380)

That’s correct. iOS never had this restriction and we’ve now lifted it on macOS. Finally! (-:Since macOS Mojave, it seems we don't need it anymore.
I think Matt’s right that we never documented this officially. I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about it here on DevForums but I can’t find any reference to that. Regardless, I can assure you that this was an intentional change and we don’t plan to change it back.
Share and Enjoy
