I hope Apple sees this as a bug and removes this in their next major update, hopefully an Apple employee files a radar and gets this removed. 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.

How is a hidden file, that was just now stumbled upon 4+ years later, an endorsement?

  It isn't hidden if it was found with a full path to file and now on full display. 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 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

    Linux distros have had plenty of interesting things hidden in them over the years. https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-2.3/source/ap/gonzo/ https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-2.3/source...

Why are you getting so worked up about what is fundamentally a neat idea, which may or may not be used well? > evading sanctions The horror
