I get why there are people that don’t like how some installers do this, but this trope is really turning into the “but I don’t even own a TV” of OSS commentary.

Just use the Docker image if you don’t like it. Or get their appliance which actually supports ongoing development.

Actually they do. Not individually one by one themselves but they outsourced this to their distro maintainers which do a spectacular job.

I'll take a properly curated package in flatpak Fedora repos over a random script downloaded and piped into a root shell any day
