I don't want to do that to our users. Sage was started to compete with [Magma | Mathematica | Maple], so the install process for Sage needed to compete with what [Magma | Mathematica | Maple] offers. A few weeks ago, I was bummed that Ken Ribet [1] was lamenting on Facebook that he does NOT recommend that people install Sage, because it is too confusing or likely to be broken. Something like [2, 3] but for Sage would go a long way to help. Hopefully going forward, we can spoil users of Sage even more than we already are. [1] A good example of a representative influential mathematician, e.g., he was the last president of the American Mathematical Society. He uses MacOS.
