In a way it's a bit of a philosophical standpoint: macOS is the whole indivisible thing developed, built, and released in lockstep, kinda like FreeBSB base is the whole indivisible thing developed, built, and released in lockstep (and the rest is ports). In a way, removing tcsh from a FreeBSD install because you only ever use bash from ports does not make sense and may break things; so you just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.
- chatmasta 3y agoYeah, I get that, but I think there could be a middleground. They could ship all their apps as a bundle, and their raw base OS separately.
- kshacker 3y agoSo what do you do when - previous bundle exists, you upgrade raw OS, but the previous bundle is not compatible - you try to install new bundle, but did not install new raw OS I am sure this can be managed, but someone else may say they do not want to do it.
- chatmasta 3y agoI guess the OS installer could have a checkbox "upgrade Apple Apps bundle" and if you uncheck it but have the previous version installed, it could have a disabled, pre-selected checkbox saying "Uninstall Apple Apps bundle (previous version incompatible)"
