- mgkimsal 10y agoEverything else that you install (via brew, ports, etc) wouldn't be allowed (or... that's the thinking if it were locked down).
- netheril96 10y agoFirst of all, the Unix tools are not part of the OS. They are bundled with the OS, but definitely not necessary. Second of all, in a walled garden macOS, you could not have most of the Unix tools, because they break the sandboxes.
- ksk 10y agoThat is easily settled though. Apple considers them part of the OS, and so they are. Its as simple as that. >Second of all, in a walled garden macOS, you could not have most of the Unix tools, because they break the sandboxes. Which tool breaks what sandbox? I think you're conflating root access with userland UNIX tools.
