you wanna expand on why you think it's basically a linux distro? Last i heard macos was more closely based on BSD than it was linux, and this was ages ago. Unless they rewrote it without my knowledge it really shouldn't be anything like either one of the two.

because I can pop a terminal into zsh and beyond that I don't really know the taxonomy

you can do that with WSL though.

All modern terminals are actually terminal emulators, unless you're sitting in TTY. It's pretty trivial to implement a proper UNIX/linux like CLI environment.

and for completion sake here, technically windows implements a "terminal" through CMD, it's not linux/unix like at all, but it is still a CLI interface, so.
