FWIW, /bin/sh is usually a symlink to bash, and it makes bash behave like
the original Bourne Shell.

For some definition of "usually".  On Debian and Ubuntu /bin/sh is a
symbolic link to dash not bash.

On my ubuntu system too -- to my surprise ;)

On my fedora system I think it was symlinked to bash.

Either way, the actual "bourne shell" is rarely installed on Linux, it's usually another shell that mimics the features.
