  Sometimes you're not in a position to know, suggest, nor decide if people are using such a package manager (may it be Homebrew, MacPorts, ArchMac...) They may type make out of habit. This introduces a significant dependency, which makes people less inclined to use your stuff. It all depends on the use case, but in some situations a cop out such as "just use Homebrew" is actively user hostile due to the amount of human friction it generates. As it turns out, I've written bucketloads of portable (GNU and non-GNU) makefiles and never needed a post v3 feature.
