I know that the download for it exists, but it doesn’t run on my Mac no matter what I do and the other way which im kinda scared to do is sailing the seven seas (committing piracy? Would downloading a SWF file for 2.0 from the internet be considered piracy?) and I am aware the wayback machine does have the 2.0 editor available, but also worried of piracy. Is there any other way?

I'm not aware of any other legal means of getting scratch 2.0.

No. The Scratch 2.0 editor is open-source and allows people to create and upload SWF builds for others

and I am aware the wayback machine does have the 2.0 editor available, but also worried of piracy

It's not piracy also don't believe it works quite as well there

You can use a .swf and use the Flash standalone player from archive.org
Also, does it show a white screen if you try to use the 2.0 offline editor? (I have no idea why it's doing this, as I've been able to use it on a M series Mac with Big Sur, but I've only seen MacOS users report it)

No, because it doesn’t even load even with a supported adobe air version (im running the latest Mac version so probably thats why)
