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?
