I am sure it is possible. I just don't have the
PHP/HTML/Javascript/whatever skills to do that.

On this issue, isn't it possible to let a web server detect the OS
requesting the download? So the server can then do the picking and
send the right version to the requestor?
Or maybe the info available to the server about the requesting OS
isn't that detailed. Not sure. At least I'm sure I can use a single
download link for an app's Mac and Windows installers.

I'm not saying YOUR experience is invalid. I guess I am just saying
we have really really really computer naive customers and Apple has
gone and complicated things and it creates a support burden for us
that we would not have had to expend resources addressing if Apple
had not done this.
Apple has, and there is no going back, so it is what it is, but it is
really really annoying! :-(

But the installers for drivers and the installer you want to use are
not different. And what else does anyone have to go on but their
experiences, and other people's experiences? I need to tap into that
resource! ;-)

First, your assumption that "it's one everyone is experiencing for
any installer" is exactly that, an assumption based on your
experiences.
The vast majority of our customers are computer novices and
anything but the simplest of steps can cause them problems. Most do
not know what version of macOS they run, nor how to tell what
version they are running.
Second, I was not calling for RunRev to "fix" this. It is clearly
Apple's inane drive for marketing a level or privacy and security
that is mostly a gigantic lie that is the cause.
And thirdly, drivers are a bit different than research apps.
