Apple has proprietary, in-house solutions for these tasks. If I were an employee working on one of those, I wouldn't like if a different part of the company provided support to or funding for an alternative to the thing I'm working on.

Then they should ship those solutions with their products and provide support for it to end users instead of pawning them off to the curl team for support.

They do?

But it's a big company, so presumably some team used curl for some project, leaked that in an error message, and whoever runs the Apple Support social media account apparently didn't know about that after someone contacted them about the error message. Or something like that, it's hard to figure out what was going on without more context.

curl is shipped (by Apple) as a command line tool and libs to link against on stock MacOS (unless Xcode installs it these days, but I don't think so?).
