The default Mac terminal environment is the Weetabix of UNIX-likes. You need GNU coreutils to do pretty much anything.
I'm confused. Isn't coreutils a just small subset of even macOS's current zsh's builtins? What do you prefer about systemd to launchd? defaults seems like a convenient way to manage settings. Is it confusing for people from other operating systems?
Name one thing lacking in the utilities included with MacOS (which come from BSD).
`grep -P` kinda annoying. GNU has Perl-compatible regex, and BSD does not. You're reaching for `perl` or installing `ggrep` the moment you need a lookbehind.

Is it still shipping with that ancient bash, the awful Iterm and without a package manager? I haven't used OSX for a while.

The overwhelming majority of UNIX-like software isn't designed for BSD runtimes, to name one.
