I hate the idea of requiring 6 random binaries from 6 random companies just to get the basics working like tabbing windows, resizing windows, and reading drives.

Doubly so when they are closed source and free. How are the developers making the money? Are they community supported somehow, maybe patreon? Are they tracking you? Inlining ads to your desktop? Who is paying for their apple devel tools or apple store ID?

As the saying goes, if the app is free, you are the product that company is selling

Imagine supporting 100 mac users, each with 6 random binaries installed.
