Del 1. Why Is XQuartz on My Mac?

XQuartz is on your Mac to enable the use of X11-based applications, which are common in Unix and Linux environments. It allows you to run software that relies on the X Window System, such as certain scientific, engineering, and academic applications. Additionally, XQuartz may have been installed as a dependency for other software you use, or for running graphical applications on remote Unix/Linux servers via SSH. If you didn't explicitly install it, it was likely included with another application requiring X11 support.
