Need Postgres? Postgres.app. Need redis? Probably will install brew anyway, and then `brew install redis` I'm not seeing OP's argument here. Sure, it's not PHP where zillions of shared hosts are abundant and you can just upload stuff via FTP, and there's no cPanel/DirectAdmin or Fantastico/Softaculous for your WordPress deploy. But that's a different segment of a similar-but-not-same market.
