And yet, only in MacOS I need to install 670 MB of junk to install, say, git. Why?

This doesn't explain why I need to install 670 MB of tools to install separate developer tools that are not even Apple's.

With all due respect, it’s very unclear why you are experiencing so much pain over this. It really isn’t a big deal.

It's very unclear why you are defending this. Especially when it's a very common source of pain. E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33168346

That’s a link to someone facing a different issue that it’s fairly clear most people aren’t experiencing.

I agree that if there is a bug that causes a download to get stuck in a loop, it should be a priority for Apple to fix it.

However that isn’t what you are arguing.
