That could also be done with a BASH script, but as TFA points out BASH isn't always available or up-to-date.

That seems like a ludicrously specious argument. Bash is pretty much always available on any of these platforms - and exactly how "up-to-date" would it need to be to run a script?

Besides, you know what's not available on pretty much any brand new system? Homebrew.

Members of the current administration will certainly talk about anti-competitiveness, along with a copious amount of Trump spewing random unrelated crap when he gets asked about the merger - but then Netflix will funnel money to Trump in some manner and the deal will get done.

Netflix might buy into the ballroom, it might promise to develop "Trump: The Making of a Beloved Modern King", or money will quietly flow directly into the Trump family's pockets. One way or the other, this is going to be allowed to happen.
