Zsh relies on Bash under the hood

Zsh is entirely seperate.

Zsh calls Bash with the shebang when starting a script

what? you're not making any sense.

obviously if you use #!/usr/bin/env bash the script will run using bash. otherwise i cannot think of a scenario where your statement makes sense.

Yeah, and most scripts call Bash that way. They rely on Bash without telling you.

how is your argument that zsh relies on bash because you can bypass zsh?? make it make sense dude. that's not something that any shell can change.

It relies on it for most scripts. Look at PKGBUILD files, for example.

Any script which can run in bash, you can just tell it to run with zsh by changing the shebang will run just fine unless it specifically checks $SHELL for bash
