Aside from the fun of having a CLI on a Mac, I also use it to dump the ROMs from my machines.

e: it also comes with Git (among other utilities) which might make it worth it to some people for that alone.

I had forgotten how strange it was to see a terminal in OSX, a huge step sideways, I won't say backwards as it has its uses, but that was also the nasty green screen world I thought we had escaped from...

Yeah, even though I routinely use a mix of CLI and REPL environments, I also don't get the fetish to use computers as I was doing back in 1990 in MS-DOS and Xenix.

One of the appeals of Amiga was to only dive into the Amiga DOS shell if I really needed to.

Yeah, when I was younger and a neophyte, I thought it was idiotic that Mac OS X had a command line. Now that I’ve switched to Mac and that I’ve learned how to use it, I wouldn’t move to a platform without strong Unix roots. So what I guess I’m saying is I wouldn’t use Windows.

wsl with directory tree integration is also good, or cmd.exe with native gnu tools and additional binaries.

It sounds so ... clumsy.

How does it run git? Is there some kind of posix layer? What utilities does it come with?

Here's a screenshot for you, fresh from my PowerBook G3: https://i.imgur.com/zmFJy5l.png

Yeah. I even checked screenshots and all they show is a $ prompt.

Yeah, could use a readme for sure.
