Much Unix software today is written by people who really don't appreciate or understand Unix. It leads to things like Homebrew (early on, at least) completely taking over and breaking /usr/local; to command-line utilities using a single dash (-) precending both short and long option names (granted, --long-opts is a GNUism, but it's a well-established standard); commands that output color by default even when the output isn't a tty; etc.
It's not hard to fix things like this, but it exemplifies a lack of familiarity with the Unix command line. There are an enormous number of tools out there that only exist because people don't know how to chain together basic 1970s Unix text-processing tools in a pipeline.
