Maybe Mac users could consider the current solution used by Windows users : 
install a virtual machine using some "Real Unix" distribution, and install

"Livable" is an extremely low bar, 


Indeed.
 

especially compared to the current situation for macOS users, which is that 
they can easily install the latest release of Sage in a familiar way (drag 
the app into the Applications forlder)


Ah ? Where do all those "I can't install Sage on my Mac ! Help me !" 
messages come from ?
 

or by running the command "brew install sage" in a terminal, if they have 
Homebrew.

You are proposing to "improve" their situation by forcing them to install a 
virtual computer and then forcing them to install linux in the virtual 
computer and then forcing them to learn their way around linux


Isn't Mac OS supposed to be Unix-based ? Where is the Unix "experience" ?
 

so that they can install an extremely out of date version of Sage (e.g. 9.5 
on Ubuntu 22.04) or use a "bleeding edge" version of linux.


Or install from source on a stable version of Linux. Which seems easier 
than copiung with the zillion (combinatorial explosion you know...) 
variations opened by the various uses of Homebrew...

PS Declaring "I would't touch Mac OS in a class A aseptic room..." is not 
likely to make many macOS users interested in your advice.


Indeed.

I have been on the receiving end of Mac users "needing help"...
