OS X refers to those parts of the distribution which aren't open-source

From your own quote

OSX is not simply the non open source pieces, I get reading comprehension is hard for you but come on. People will upvote anything if it confirms their emotional biases lol

The entire internet is built on open-source technologies, as you probably know. That doesn't make the internet as a whole an open-source thing. Transport technologies are open, a lot of hardware and software around it is not, and that's still talking about the infrastructure, not what is actually running on top of all that.

It's like saying Windows is open-source because they use curl. And Microsoft is as open to open-source code as long as they can train their LLM on it and sell it to you. Sure they provide money and developers to some projects, but Windows, Office, Azure will most likely never be actually open to code investigations, forget free.
