Since the plugin is enabled in the extension's settings panel, it doesn't really do anything. So I tried to run the plugin binary directly.
path as:
{my-app}/Contents/PlugIns/{my-finder-appex}/Contents/MacOS/finder
The output of a normal direct run is
An XPC service cannot be run directly.
But what's unusual is that its output is
illegal hardware instruction
Then the system's Console.app shows its crash report
