IMO Mac OS X should come with its own integrated package manager and corresponding central repository for distribution of various open source software packages. A package manager that worked well with the App Store and Xcode.

This is their only real chance to keep Devs from migrating to Windows 10 with WSL2 or baremetal Linux. I couldn't believe they didn't announce any thing for Big Sur, I could have sworn they would if they really cared about non-macOS/ipadOS/iOS devs. Especially that they're also dropping Perl/Python/Ruby frameworks.

If anything, they could have just low-key embrace brew and take it from there. They didn't, and I think that sends a message: they've given up.
