Avoid the Apple App Store

I feel like you hate Apple more than Apple hates me. Your boogieman analogy is over the top or laughable. Also:

  bash --version
  GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21.1.0)

You may be running non-standard bash.

In macOS Monterey 12.2.1:

  /bin/bash

  ┍ … Thu Feb 17 09:10:25[~]

I absolutely do. I want some parity with Linux so I also install gnu coreutils via brew and alias with bashrc.

  which bash
  /usr/local/bin/bash

  which ls
  /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls

Or, hear me out here, maybe just run Linux. Your life can be very simple and easy without having your system subjected to Apple's caprice.

Imagine it, a system that you, and only you, control.

I run both, on top of FreeBSD and Windows. Being an OS zealot isn't what pays my bills.
