I'm confused. Isn't coreutils a just small subset of even macOS's current zsh's builtins? What do you prefer about systemd to launchd? defaults seems like a convenient way to manage settings. Is it confusing for people from other operating systems?

My first unix was ultrix. I'll take the default mac stuff over that any day of the week.

Name one thing lacking in the utilities included with MacOS (which come from BSD).
