I think Homebrew still makes a mess with permissions on multiuser systems (at least on macOS), so it's probably not a good example of best practices.

I'm not holding it as a best practice, and I don't see how that was interpreted from my comment. I think installation through a copy/pasted script is terrible business.

But it was held as something exceptional, when here in reality a number of extremely widely used products, frameworks and tools provide installation through a curled shell script command.

Another example is CUDA on Linux. Installed via some copy/pasted scripts from a webpage.

I have must misunderstood or misinterpreted your comment a bit then.

I fully agree, this seems to be becoming more and more common unfortunately.
