Until it doesn’t. Why do you think Mac users feel the need for something
like Homebrew?
It's for power users familiar with apt or yum on linux. I doubt very much
typical users have any idea what Homebrew is.

missing from macOS. Because without it, trying to install open-source
software turns into a complete nightmare.
