I don't disagree with the author that it is a huge security risk. But this is yet another example of a software enthusiast who doesn't get the value of convenience. In fact, "convenience" is probably the first attribute of great software.
So again, while I agree with their general sentiment, being "baffled by how [oh my zsh] became so popular" just because it instructs users to curl pipe shows that they don't get the core issue at play here.
