There is no way a monolithic bash script full of if statements and list of dependencies for every single possible linux or bsd distribution is more maintainable than having a clean set of RPM spec, APT control, AUR PKGBUILD and BSD packages makefiles.

Devs who use curl | bash do that because they are control freaks and want and love to make mess in user's homedirs, that is all. This is a an ego issue, not a technical one.
