This is something I can’t figure out, because my understanding is that no matter what OS you install, unless you bought your Mac with cash, your serial number and credit card are now connected…and will always be spilling data about you.
Thanks for any advice…I’m wondering if it’s worth it to install a new OS.

Because software is easier to analyze than hardware?
Certainly, although OSX has enough closed source parts, and obfuscation is good enough to let a supply chain attack live in Go’s module ecosystem for years. Obfuscation is reasonably effective, especially when the DMCA in the US makes reverse engineering legally hazardous, and it’s iffy in the EU as well. Anyone who found an issue would have to make it public very anonymously.
