You can't play this game since you're too ignorant as to the nature of the game. The Win/Linux part is irrelevant in this conversation about whether an argument about MacOS is "dumb and misinformed", and is actually reinforcing the author's point since he also claims it's a common issue across OS

Oh, the irony of an ignorant calling out the ignorance. It used to be that "simple" (though you still had to waste time figuring out which spread-out junk was safe to delete).

But it isn't that simple any more with the newer OS, it's much more, yes, locked down, since you forgot about that minor crypto-signed thingy called Signed System Volume (SSV) (https://eclecticlight.co/2020/11/30/is-big-surs-system-volum...)

You can check some more complicated setup here https://nektony.com/how-to/uninstall-default-apple-apps-on-m..., but then it's much more involved, but also more risky, and then there are still updates..
