So in your mind when you download a tarball you are not downloading the
contents of it? Interesting perspective. Just so you can see how macOS
protects you from such things:

    <https://youtu.be/4_8Coa1UXp0>

I am pretty sure for the first time I downloaded it I was not even given the
option to say "OK" -- had to right-click and select open (there are also
other methods). Could be macOS recognizes it as the same file? But then why
show the dialog at all? Maybe I missed it -- do not think so.

I mean the files in the tarball. I figured, incorrectly, that the
permissions would not allow people to so easily accidently run arbitrary
code. Really I should have known better.

I incorrectly assumed common sense from you... another mistake on my part.
Sure.
