The App Store exists primarily to distribute proprietary applications. Homebrew exists primarily to distribute open source packages. Comparing the two (and Apple's justified focus on sandboxing, etc.) feels like a mismatch. [1]: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-Governance

Thank you for clarifications and thank you for your work on Homebrew. I hope that Homebrew approach is sufficient to make security risks acceptable.
