I don't consider installing Xcode to be an unreasonable thing to do to - consider that 70+% of the people who buy a mac have no need for the compilers or system libraries. So it doesn't seem unreasonable to me - I mean, my debian box doesn't come with any of the devtools installed - and its a couple gigs of software to install.

Neither do I, but you can get away with just the command line tools. It's even on the install instructions.

10,5GB for latest Xcode which is kinda far from a trivial download size or space requirement.

xcode-select --install is more like 130mb, not 10gb.

I would put that number closer to 99.9%, if not 99.99%. :)
