I'm amazed they're not sponsored by Apple themselves, or at the very least major mac-forward Dev houses.

If it wasn't for Brew, macOS would have no chance against Linux as a dev platform.

    Apple developed — and for many years afterwards, hosted —- MacPorts.

      Apple employees did. Not Apple themselves. As for hosting, it was hosted on an equivalent of SourceForge, where many other opensource projects unaffiliated with Apple were.

      And we all know how MacPorts failed to actually gain any significant momentum.
