Or you can take the extra minute to install them yourself with brew, this a complete non issue for anyone that understands the command line in the 21st century using MacOS. Also, I would never build anything against macos userland because it's almost never the target.

Brew takes a minute just to update itself, let alone install anything.

And then everything needs to have the /opt/brewsomethingsomething PATH. /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin not good enough.

MacPorts is The Way.

In the big '25? Nixpkgs is the New Way.

So what? Do you complain when apt, yum, dnf, pacman, ports, or any other package management system does a download? I bet you don't, so it's not really a usable argument. Secondly, yeah, not tainting my systems OS and system paths is a good thing and opt/ from the filesystem perspective is the absolute right place to put add on packages.

  "The /opt/ directory is normally reserved for software and add-on packages that are not part of the default installation"

I complain every single time apt, yum have to self update for a solid half minute plus.

these two are orthogonal to each other.
