They actually have binary releases created through github: https://github.com/armosec/kubescape/releases/tag/v1.0.64

The only thing the installer script is doing is autodetecting your OS, picking the correct binary release, downloading it, making it executable, and copying it to /usr/local/bin. The installation instructions could just as easily tell you to do that. As with most go programs, the entire thing is just one file. No libraries, no config files, no dependencies.

Heck, wrapping it in a deb, rpm, and tarball for pacman would be easy as heck, just a one-line installer script: install -m755 <program> <prefix>/bin. I guess single-application developers just really don't like package managers.
