Completely forgot about the new (smaller) micro HDMI ports on the Pi 4. Knew there had to be a way to enable SSH. You saved my life!
Even easier suggestion if you're on a Mac and using BalenaEtcher: just use BalenaEtcher to copy the image over to Micro SD. All you have to do after that is open a terminal window, go to the newly created boot partition on the Micro SD and create the ssh file as described in the article above:
cd /Volumes/boot
touch ssh
And you're done.
Eject the Micro SD (go to finder, click the eject icon), stick the Micro SD in the Pi, and power it up. I'm using a wired ethernet cable, so didn't need to configure WiFi. Once you've figured out the IP address of the Pi, you're good to go.

Thanks, Nao! I'm glad it helped you.
Nice write up on a MacOS SD tooling too. Much shorter than mine. Ha!
