Reminds me of all the de-crufting you've always needed to do when you install Windows. Looks like we've gotten to the point on macOS too, where you need to run third party scripts on a new OS installation to gain back control of your system resources and remove unwanted crapware.

Not gonna lie, I would like a "Black Edition" of macOS. There is a decent OS buried under tons of rubble.

On windows you got garbage like trial versions of Blah software.

This is a fully functioning feature that people don’t like for what ever reason.

This will always be the case with proprietary software, invariably. Just a matter of time.

What makes you call it crapware? The new spotlight search (from Siri) is amazing and super convenient.

True that, win11debloat is 'mandatory' nowadays. The time that OS makers competed with each other with features users actually wanted is long gone, alas.. This is why Linux is now making more serious momentum. Even a long term 'Microsoftie' like myself is now standing on the brink of making the leap. Just a bit more Steam compatibility first please...
