I was getting at `readlink` on macOS not supporting -f,

Whereas OpenBSD has readlink -f but no realpath(1).
My suggestion would be to just drop all the qualitative language about
which is more popular or widely used and just add a simple statement
that future coreutils development will go into realpath and that is the
recommended interface to use in new projects.
