Other people's software is great, what was asked is why the Apple hate.

Apple doesn't provide Homebrew, Apple updates *in the past have occasionally broken it horribly. (Looking at you El Capitan)

But while we are taking a look at home brew, If you need a specific version of something you are occasionally up a creek. It's been a hot few years since I was daily driving OSX *as my primary, but when I needed a certain version of memcache or a certain version of netcat for a feature, It just wasn't there and then compiling it for the OS was a far bigger pain in the ass than it is on any Linux distro.
