By adding it into the main macOS, a sentient being at Apple deliberately chose that file to place it into a major operating system. I consider it an blantant endorsement.
I'm questioning Apple's review process because of this. At worst this is akin to malware.
You just don't find this kind of insane overreaction over esoteric matters anywhere else. Love HN.
Not sure what you mean here. There are many Linux distros...?
Itβs not even relevant, though. You can make your claims about the supposed endorsement without making a reference to Linux at all, or even if you did, appeal to the freedom aspect of it - you can probably remove it and compile it yourself. To claim that none of them are even ideologically supportive of it? An absurd claim

This should have never been allowed on macOS, an endorsement of a pyramid scheme, borderline ponzi scheme, incinerating the planet and evading sanctions.
I use Linux and macOS and the former would never allow this to happen ever.
