  Author seems to be a painter/journalist/art journalist—so the answer to that is the same as to the OP question: so far it's primarily been built out for programming, by and for software engineers, where it seems completely natural.

      Then why do they call it "Terminal" (ie the macOS app) instead of "the terminal" (the concept)? I was baffled.

        It's an Apple-user thing. It's not "my phone", it's "my iPhone". It's not my laptop, it's my MacBook. It's not my headphones, it's my AirPods. It's not my smart watch, it's my Apple Watch Ultra 3 Sapphire Gold Plated. It's not my terminal, it's the Terminal, the one to rule them all. Only plebs use non-branded terminals!
