System fonts restrictions on macOS
Hello guys,
I want to have on my os a consistency between all apps using a monospace font, like it is possible on Linux.
So, we are on macOS and have very limited customizations options in general.
Today I read this
B. Other Use Restrictions. The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Font for the purpose of creating mock-ups of user interfaces to be used in software products running on any non-Apple operating system or to enable others to do so.

You may not rent, lease, lend, trade, transfer, sell, sublicense or otherwise redistribute the Apple Font in any unauthorized way.
So, I can't use on macOS SF Mono for Visual Studio Code? Ok. Fine.
In this case I would get distance from all this extreme protected holy grail and don't wanna even touch this s**t.
The last app in which I can't change monospace font to an another default one is apple notes. This is by the way the last app out there, which is so limited and poor. You can't even get a folder structure with more as 5 nested folders. In 2024. Go away.
Question: Has anyone an idea, if there's a hack for a) get rid of the SF Mono from system or b) changing font in apple notes under the hood?
Apple tells us stuff like "... this is you Mac, this is your OS, this is your bla bla." It should better sound like "... take what we give you and love it, even if you hate it.".
Thanks for a tipp, if anyone has some. 🙏
