I think it's probably because Homebrew has all the obscure packages one might ever need, and packages in Homebrew are quite up-to-date even though it may not be extensively tested. For example, I use cocot quite often (for dealing with SJIS systems), and while cocot is in Homebrew, it's not in the Ubuntu's official repository.

- sirn 10y agoI'm pretty sure AUR has everything :) But the OP was talking about ARM, which I'm not sure about the state of ARM port for Arch Linux. It's also true that one can also find PPA, but there's big convenient when it's installable right away without needing to search for PPAs.
