@portaloffreedom @swapgs There are very good reasons to distribute software via repositories, which is why the App Store exists. But sometimes the vendor-blessed repository isn't suitable (e.g. more traditional FOSS packages), and then what do you do? Install an alternate repository (Homebrew) or a whole new OS with its own package manager (Fedora Asahi). And in both of those cases, you use curl|sh to do it :)
