Brew winds up hogging an inappropriate amount of disk space on every system I’ve ever installed it on. I switched to nix recently and haven’t had that problem yet.

That being said I haven’t investigated and it could be user error. But brew can absolutely bork your shit

Having it cache a bunch of crap to your disc isn't exactly "borking your shit". Just delete it. There's probably some settings flag you can export in your shell .rc to control that behavior, but its so not a problem it hasn't been worth my time to go look up how to do it.
