No other package manager I've used automatically performs destructive actions on a package installation without asking me, homebrew does. But aside from that, homebrew used to be much nicer, it had options on formulae, it worked with the system ruby instead of installing its own periodically, it allowed patches that improved system integration even if they made the resulting binary less command line focused (for example emacs has macOS specific patches locked behind building the gui app).
And yeah, it's the homebrew maintainer's project, but when you're in a position to help people or make their life worse, it's immoral to do the latter.
