Have been using OSS on Mac for 15+ years, including building packages from
source. Far, far easier than on Windows. 

Given that macOS is a single platform it is sometimes even simpler than
linux where there's multiple ways to achieve the same thing depending on
whether it Redhat, debian or ubuntu based and type of kernel you have.

That kind of thing doesn’t scale without a package manager, though. How 
many hundred open-source packages were you able to build and install at 
once?

My point is that most OSS software that users need are available as
ready-to-use downloads. There's no ubiquitous need for linux-like package
manager on macOS. Useful? Probably. Necessary? Nope. 

Asking users to do a "brew install firefox" is a non-starter.

But you did say you were “including building packages from source”. How 
complex were those builds you managed? Does each download include all its 
dependencies?

More to illustrate that building from source was possible. It wasn't the
default.

Fairly simple to moderately complex with internal and external
dependencies, but that was a while back. I don't do much of that kind of
stuff anymore.

I never said it wasn’t, just that it doesn’t scale well without a proper 
package manager to help with the dependencies -- something that macOS 
lacks.

How did you handle getting hold of the dependencies for each build?

It doesn't lack it, it's simply not part of the core OS as it is a niche
requirement. 

That's the beauty of an OSS community. Additional capabilities are
available to those who want/need them.

With a package manager, obviously. Firstly, macports and then homebrew. 

You're focusing on the exception rather than the rule, however. Installing
OSS is not a "complete nightmare" without a package manager *because* most
software is already packaged for easy installation. Either via the
developer themselves or the App Store. 

If you are expert enough to want to install stuff from source then you can
on macos with the help of Homebrew.

Including its dependencies? So if multiple packages share the same 
dependency, you end up with multiple copies of that dependency?

Depends on the dependency, but often yes. Just like on Windows and,
sometimes, Linux with pre-packaged/compiled software.

That’s one of the things package managers are designed to handle properly.

I don't feel that need.  Why would I want to do that when I have a
penguin flavoured VM?  In any case, 99% of Mac users have absolutely 
no need for open-source s/w but any user with such an esoteric
requirement knows how to deal with it.

There is far more to computing for the vast majority of users than the
ability to run open-source.  Get real!

The reality is, just about the entire computing ecosystem nowadays is 
crucially dependent on open source at some point. There is no longer any 
getting away from it. It underlies everything.

Maybe so, but you've missed the point that the users (those 99% 
of people who use their computers as tools not toys) neither need 
to know that nor do they care about it.  Their requirements are
transparently (for them) catered for by existing software.

Open Source is like the car with a bonnet you can open. Most users never 
look under the bonnet of their car. So why not sell cars with sealed 
bonnets?

Because a car with a bonnet that can be opened can be serviced by any 
competent mechanic -- you don’t have to take your car back to the 
manufacturer for everything. Imagine how expensive car maintenance would 
be if the original manufacturer had a monopoly on it--and how much more 
likely they would be to tell you that it is unfixable and must be 
replaced, just because they would rather sell you a new model. It is free-
market competition that keeps prices down, and gives you such a choice of 
market products.

Open Source brings free-market competition to the software industry.

There is absolutely nothing I can disagree with there. Your example is 
especially significant since my brother and sister in law decided to 
make Audi their favourite car brand a few years ago in response to my 
wife's decision to buy a luxury car for her work (she needed to be 
presentable). They are jealous people who always feel the need to one-up 
us even though we're not competing with them in any way. Anyway, they 
could barely afford the car so when it came time to fix it, the wife 
decided to have her husband fix it himself rather than go to the 
dealership or a competent mechanic. He quickly realized that unlike the 
Chevrolet and Hyundai they owned before, the Audi required special tools 
to open it up. Similarly, it needed non-standard parts for the repair 
itself. Clearly, such practical people should have bought from a company 
which allows people to fix the vehicles themselves, but that wouldn't 
have provided them the second or two of satisfaction at the thought they 
might have made us jealous.

I wanted to install something to calculate the wear on my MacBook M1's 
storage and experienced this first-hand. It's much easier with Linux.

Sure, because Mac users typically don't care how the computer works; 
they just want to use the software to accomplish something. Checking 
wear, upgrading and changing components is all beneath them. Those who 
would wish to do such things are peons.

Seriously though, I like the Apple-silicon Macs but I'm realizing that 
I'm not the kind of person who would be content knowing that whatever I 
purchased can't be changed in the slightest after purchase. I love how 
easily Apple hardware communicates with other Apple hardware and find 
MacOS to be a nice system, but I'm realizing that the best compromise 
for me is Linux delivered by a steady community like that of Fedora.

Reminds me of a friend who sends me an email 2x/year that's a copy of 
the report of the latest chemical analysis from his car's most recent 
oil change:  dude, its fine that you want your car to last, but its not 
going to be preserved in a museum!

I think what changed for me was recognizing that I no longer need to go 
through extraordinary efforts to make an PC last a decade anymore, 
because their costs have declined so dramatically over the past 40 years.

Extraordinary efforts? I have a 12+ year-old laptop that's been a Linux
box for all of its life (after it got delivered to me).

The only extraordinary effort I took was installing an SSD.

The thing is shut down right now; Imma keeping it around for potential later
usage.

(I've got an old desktop box sitting up in the attic. Not sure I will ever
power it on again. Noisy, takes up too much room.)
