Macs have all consumer Apple apps preloaded, and the user cannot delete them without reinstalling macOS from scratch.

Imagine a poor user, getting Apple computer with 128GB SSD, where 10GB or more is being taken by GarageBand or iMovie, which he isn't going to touch during the machine lifetime.

You can delete the big apps tho. The biggest mandatory app is iTunes and it's only 213Mb. Kind of bugs me that I can't delete 8Mbs of Chess anyway.

I just tried it in 10.14... and you are right! It wasn't possible in 10.12/10.13.

Definitely possible at least since 10.10 (Yosemite). Not sure how SIP affects this, as I have it disabled.

In Yosemite or without SIP it would be possible with plain sudo. In El-Capitan it definitely wasn't that easy (I do have SIP enabled).
