I don't have an issue if people want to use/download zsh, but making it the OS default is a huge mistake! From the zsh docs themselves:
"Broadly, bash has paid more attention to standards compliancy (i.e. POSIX) for longer, and has so far avoided the more abstruse interactive features (programmable completion, etc.) that zsh has." ~http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq02.html#l14
Don't make a less-standards compliant shell the default! Bash is one of the few programs I can rely on between all my different devices.
It's better to have an old version of a standard-compliant shell be the default. Users can easily install the latest bash/zsh, but make that a personal choice.
The license isn't a valid reason to swap out bash.
To see what's still 32-bit on your mac, go to:
Apple icon > About this mac > system report > applications > then click the 64-bit column to sort. No will be 32-bit apps.
