Stop calling names and searching for lies where there are none. I didn't bother explaining that all, because I assumed people coming here are already Homebrew users, as those who are usually already know that all. It's just pity to see where is it going[0][1]…

[1] Regarding the forceful approach to unshallowing, they just chose the easiest way they could. You'd literally had to meddle with the code in order to accept shallow clones again. They didn't even bother to make a switch for advanced users.
I don’t use homebrew (for many of the reasons found in the comments here and more) but this is why I do visit their repo[1] for a “formula” whenever I need something macports or pkgsrc can’t supply me.

nixpkgs CI does check for buildability on Darwin, which can be confirmed by looking at any of their PRs. However, packages do tend to be get marked as broken on Darwin if it doesn’t build and the packager doesn’t own a Mac.
I feel things have stabilized significantly in recent days, though. I haven’t had a single Darwin breakage on the unstable channel since the release of 20.09. Perhaps the Zero Hydra Failures effort[1] helped.

It seems to me that if you compare Apple and Microsoft, it's only the latter that cares deeply about the developer experience on their platform.

>it's a terrible dictatorial piece of software that wants to command precisely how you use your computer
I've also seen examples of where Homebrew is basically dictating on how to release your software as well. There was that one case where they decided to delete the formula for mpv since mpv didn't have a recent enough of a tagged release.
https://github.com/danielbair/homebrew-core/commit/b18f104f1...
There was also an instance with mpv where Homebrew devs got pissy about mpv not supporting Lua 5.3 and mpv devs got angry at Homebrew devs for asking to break existing user scripts to appease one package manager.
