They don't. Use MacPorts. MacPorts git also receives frequent updates. Xcode isn't updated that often.

MacPorts installation guide literally tells you to install XCode Commandline Tools before even using them: https://guide.macports.org/#installing

The question of "why the he'll do I need to download 670 MB of unknown junk before installing tools that are not even Apple's" remains

The question of why this download is such a big deal remains?

Honestly if having to download some tools is your chief complaint about their developer experience, they must be doing magnificently.
