Although not built in, we have a list of easy to install command-line utilities for macOS.

You might find one you've never heard of that is useful! :)

Kinda related: does anyone else regularly finds CLI tools, installs them and never ever even call them once?

Yes, been there, forgot that. I have since created a shell helper function that prints a list of "new and cool" CLI tools that I recently added to my dotfiles setup, which helps me committing them to long-term memory.
