I feel like zsh is for pros maybe. I use Linux daily and write python and shellscripts. Zsh has been defaulted all over the place but all that meant for me is I have to figure out how to get it to do things the bash way once in a while.
I see no reason why distros like ubuntu or kali would default to zsh.I use the shell for sysadmin stuff, anything complex or app specific gets at least a python treatment.
The whole thing reminds me of python 2->3 or sysv init to systemd. There must be people somewhere deeply invested in these changes and their voice is certainly much more valuable than the average opensource joe user. Defaults matter and the time I and millions had to spend learning to transition for no direct benefit to us has value. The whole distro model of everyone getting a distro they like falls apart when not enough people can fork.
Overall, this devalues opensource as an investment. Because of unpredictable hidden costs like this.
