Apple no longer ships bash 2. They moved to zsh also a few years ago.

The reason was the same as here: bash moved to GPL v3.

Incorrect. They default to zsh for interactive use, but their /bin/sh is bash 2. They also ship a copy of dash, but it's not sufficiently POSIX-conforming to replace bash.
Huh weird, I remember many years ago getting a notification in the terminal that bash would be deprecated so I assumed that would have happened by now. I no longer use macs so I wasn't up to date, sorry.
