Installing software on MacOS is only convenient when it is distributed as self-contained .app bundle. Only self-contained GUI apps are distributed this way. Managing software that comes in ".pkg" files is strictly worse than using Linux packages. Unlike on Linux, there is no dependency tracking or interface for un-installing such software.
