PSA: Its Unix.

  sudo chmod -x /Applications/Music.app

I wish it were that simple.

    ~: sudo chmod -x /Applications/Music.app       
    chmod: /Applications/Music.app: No such file or directory
    ~: sudo chmod -x /System/Applications/Music.app
    chmod: Unable to change file mode on /System/Applications/Music.app: Operation not permitted

(Mac OS Tahoe 26.5)

    % ls -la /System/Applications/Music.app/Contents/MacOS/Music
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  66201040 Apr 30 09:12 /System/Applications/Music.app/Contents/MacOS/Music

PSA: don't run random commands people on the internet tell you to run, it turns out those people haven't even run those commands themselves..
