Apple has been consistently removing native *nix tools from the system with every iteration. I was recently surprised to see it still had SFTP built-in (although I'm not sure how long that would last).

But, homebrew still does save the day. I wonder whether binary notarization requirements will affect that too.

Exactly, if apple wants to keep people buying 6 grand laptops they need to realise removing tools like scp that 1% of their users use isn't going to be ok if there's a competent alternative.
