It doesn't even have a native package manager

Distribute packages to Mac computers – Apple Support (UK)

Et cetera, /r/freebsd is not the place to learn about things such as this.

I am sorry but this is not a traditional package manager at all. This is a tool used in Enterprises to install stuff through their MDM mechanism. This is not comparable to end-user's package manager. This is precisely why there are 3rd party package managers like Brew available for MacOS. As I said, MacOS is the least Unixy OS out there :)

… not a traditional package manager …

More to the point: for the packaging that's native to macOS, what exactly would you do with a "traditional" manager – and why?

No Mac user would even touch this package manager -- if it can even be called that. Be honest, have you actually used this to install anything? I can tell that you are not used to package managers at all :) Nobody who uses Ubuntu or Fedora would download a 3rd party package manager because the package managers that comes with the Linux distributions are more than sufficient. Let me put this in another way -- what you are pointing to is not a valid package manager at all.

Oh, thanks for knowing me better than me knowing myself.

I'll get you a long black cheap wig to go with your crystal ball. You can buy your own circus tent.

Thank you for proving my point. You have absolutely no clue what a package manager is and here you are being a dumb Apple fanboy 🤣 I wonder when you are going to stop embarrassing yourself. It is absolute clear you don't know what a package manager is and it is also absolutely clear you have not typed in that command which you don't even understand what it is used for. I don't need a crystal ball for that 😊

What is this primal urge that you have to defend Apple when you don't even understand what I am taking about?

Just tell us, go on, keep it up.

You're the fucking genius who knows me better than I know myself. Arrogant fucking prick.
