Apple switched to zsh because newer versions of bash are licensed under GPLv3.

I know what the reason is. I don't care. I use GPLv3 and have no interest in an OS that doesn't. You can run bash on windows or compile it yourself on any platform. microsoft even distributes it with windows.

Not strictly correct. It's provided by whatever WSL distro you download, and that download comes from the distro as opposed to Microsoft.

Compile it yourself on MacOS, problem solved. Or install it with Homebrew?
