People would have to use it in some drastic catastrophic way for them to force it out in an update, which they might push it out in the next macOS update, which don't come nearly as frequently as Windows bloatware updates do.

This seems important enough to just send out a patch update that removes the cert and does nothing else. But apparently at least a couple people at Apple disagree; or, something I'm not familiar with makes that type of update impossible.

I would put Apple updates in that bloatware category given I was forced to upgrade my phone after iOS and updates eventually took up 50% of storage.

amusing you criticize windows updates here where the macos update schedule is woefully inadequate.
