> Apple doesn’t want to distribute them

Apple can't distribute them - coreutils is GPLv3, which is incompatible with Apple's immutable system volume.

That's a brand new excuse, Apple refused to distribute GPLv3 when GPLv3 was first published, 20ish years ago. How is GPLv3 incompatible with their system volume, yet GPLv2 is still fine?
