> 2. Why should bash be in /usr/bin? Mine's in /usr/local/bin and I've seen vendored bash binaries in very weird places. Respect the user's PATH.

Yup, nix and guix consistently put their binaries in "very weird places" - unless you want to make users of those tools unhappy (among others!) please use env. The user knows where their shell is more than you do.
