The reason why I am curious is because https://ss64.com/mac/sed.html claims that -E works.

Earlier I wrote somewhere whatever problem it is it would be shared with BSD implementation of sed. But apparently BSD's sed also works with the -E option. https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sed(1)

So, I dunno. Perhaps it is not -E but some specific construct used in the pattern?
