What about them? I don't use Python or Golang, but I install the requested versions of each if I need to do something that uses them. Folks who don't use GNU Make can do likewise. It's not a big deal. For me, every Mac I touch gets a GNU userland by default (and Homebrew comes with shell helpers to switch to GNU userland aliases temporarily, it isn't a hard switch unless, like me, you lock it on all the time) because it's really not worth the time and effort to remember what bits are GNU and what bits are BSD. So I picked the one that has the most stuff that makes my life easier. There's also just the more basic thing of "the author doesn't care about portability to environments they consider out of scope," and that's totally fine, too. In 2022, the barriers to entry to installing the necessary bits of one flavor or another are very low, and if you choose to make them harder for yourself that's mostly on you.
