then python by default should not install at an OS level Which is exactly what will happen later this year(?): "The older Python language, version 2.7, is being deprecated in macOS 10.15 Catalina and won’t be included in macOS 10.16. The same goes for other UNIX scripting languages." https://www.macobserver.com/analysis/macos-catalina-deprecates-unix-scripting-languages/ https://www.macobserver.com/analysis/macos-catalina-deprecat...

Relying on tools that come with the system puts you in a bad place if you want to run different versions of the tools than the system provides. It's really better for everyone if the base OS contains less, and you get more from the package managee (of which there are several to choose from on MacOS). If Apple wants to provide installable tools on the OS install media, that's fine, of course.
