I digged a little deeper. MacOS lineage can be traced back to BSD and through that to UNIX. So I’m ashamed that my “ackchyually” wasn’t pedantic enough.
Considering how many Mac users are software developers (either who need to work cross-platform or who really wanted Linux but were forced by company policy to choose either Mac or Windowe and picked the more unixy one), I think the number using the terminal might be a lot higher than 0.1%.

Folders. At least to the end-user. Under the hood it’s Unix, so it wouldn’t be wrong to call them directories either.
I feel like referring to folders as users would cause a lot of unnecessary confusion.
Lol. Brain fart. Fixed

It’s literally UNIX®️, as in it’s certified https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/

I am pretty sure they mostly call them directories except in the GUI.
That’s what I meant. The GUI is all that 95% of end users interact with.
On OSX I’d guess around 99.9% of users never leave the GUI. Command Line on mac feels like a swear word these days.

0.1% is 1 in 1000, so I stand by what I said, the majority of users aren’t coders
macOS is actual, certified UNIX. I think they use both for the end user though, in documentation
