Bash is readily available everywhere, though. Is there a widely used OS that cannot run bash, but can run BusyBox ash or dash?

Bash is not used in Android.

The Android userland explicitly avoids any GPL software.

The Android system shell is the MirBSD Kornshell (mksh).

This is (obviously) a massive platform.

But, you can nevertheless install bash on Android. That was my ask -- show me a widely-used OS that cannot run bash but can run other similar shells.
