I always see this comment and understand its reasoning, but people who check what they are installing are the same people who can download and check a shell script.
In this case it's 150 rows with spaces and comments and the first one is
# Downloads the latest tarball from https://zed.dev/releases https://zed.dev/releases and unpacks it
# into ~/.local/. If you'd prefer to do this manually, instructions are at
# https://zed.dev/docs/linux https://zed.dev/docs/linux.
Then it's a download, extract and copy stuff around, it takes 1 minute to visually parse
If an install script is obfuscated then yeah, I'd skip it too.
