every time I see this dialog box it feels like I am being asked to confirm that my referendum on Apple's product line is still accurate, and every time I say "yup"

Mac OS has the gcc compiler collection which you can access from the CLI (you need to install it through Homebrew IIRC). Much more streamlined than XCode, which seems to produce a metric fuck-ton of bloat with every C/C++ file you create. OTOH if you use gcc, the only "bloat" you get is just the code files, object files, and the final executable. Also, for complex and ongoing projects, you can automate gcc with GNU Make. Mac OS also has clang/LLVM, if you prefer a more modular compiler.

@Phracker2Art I am aware of all of that, yes. Respectfully, I don't think you understand what all that "bloat" is doing if you see it that way, or indeed why I am installing Xcode (very much on purpose, to do things that are nowhere near the featureset of GCC or Clang, in addition to the fact that Clang is just part of Xcode).
