I simply do not write shell scripts that use or reference binaries/libraries that are no pre-installed on the target OS (which is the correct target, writing shell scripts for portability is silly).

There is no package manager that is going to make a shell script I write for macOS work on Linux if that script uses commands that only exist on macOS.
