YES! MacOS users don't need to document macOS as a volunteer project, they need to demand Apple to give them their money's worth.

And yet Apple does not contribute to homebrew at all. The one project that makes osx usable for developers.

I used OS X a few times for iOS development, never used homebrew. Am I not a developer?

iirc, they actually contacted Max Howell (creator of homebrew) and got his input on how to make command line tools work better for developers and homebrew specifically.

They did contribute to Macports which does the same.
