    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.

      We have arrived at the Windows Vista era for Mac OS.

        Vista had an undeserved bad rep IMO, it was an important 1.0 milestone for many new technologies and improvements especially in the security model. It effectively was a beta of Windows 7, with 7 being Microsoft's "Snow Leopard".

        Windows 11 still ships with the installer from Vista.

          Vista was especially good if you had high-memory-use workloads. Vista 64-bit was miles better than XP x64 Edition.
