Homebrew went away from using /opt recently, for $reasons Homebrew has been installing to /usr/local since the beginning of times: http://web.archive.org/web/

  Oops, my bad. Then it was just the Cask installation point which was changed [1]. I ended up reinstalling everything (sounds worse than it was) because merely moving and symlinking broke some software. Do you know if other package managers for macOS (or Mac OS X as it was called back then) did install in /opt?

    There's the Fink package manager, that maintains its stuff in `/sw`, IIRC.
