There are ways to get Sage working on your Mac without building from source. In our installation guide <https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/index.html#macos> there is a link to
<https://github.com/3-manifolds/Sage_macOS/releases> in No development: Install the binary build of SageMath from the 3-manifolds project. It is a signed and notarized app, which works for macOS 10.12 and newer. It is completely self-contained and provides the standard Sage distribution together with many optional packages. Additional optional Python packages can be installed with the %pip magic command and will go into your ~/.sage directory. Alternatively, install SageMath from the conda-forge project, as described in section Install from conda-forge. Or, perhaps, you do need a customisation which does need building from source (as you tried).
