The full problem report was generated by my operating system, not the launcher. The launcher did not start up correctly, so it did not generate a launcher_log.txt file, hence I am not attaching anything.
I did not manually close the launcher. As you can see from the terminal output (the removed pdf file that is now located in your comment), the reason for the closing of the window is because the process crashes (apparently due to some issue with the GPU or the network).
Correct, I was not able to boot the launcher at all.
I checked my Application Support folder and there is no minecraft folder. I think this is because the launcher has to boot successfully at least once before the folder is generated. Hence, I cannot change the launcher_settings channel.
As for "booting the launcher in Offline", I assume you mean to disable internet connection before booting the launcher (correct me if I am wrong). I have also already tried this and it does not work.
When viewing activity monitor and starting up the launcher, a few processes appear, but none of them are labeled as "minecraft launcher". This seems to indicate that the process never successfully launches. Please see the new screen recording attached above.
I just cleared the NVRAM on my computer by restarting it and holding down Command+Option+P+R. I had a suspicion that it had to do with the GPU storage. This actually solved the crashing. (you should put this on some help page on minecraft.net so that players know to reset their NVRAM if their launcher crashes due to the GPU process)

Yes, the launcher is now working properly. Thanks for your support.
