I would expect it's a major delivery platform of sagemath functionality to users, so it should be taken seriously.
Anecdotally in my department, it seems at least as many people use the MacOS build as build from source. so +1 to this. Given the Marc's macOS app and the fact that conda works great on macOS as well as Linux, these days the main reasons anyone builds Sage from source on macOS are (a) they want to contribute code to Sage (yay!) or (b) they've been using Sage for years and are unaware of the new binary installers. As Marc mentioned, the SageMath 10.6 version of his app was downloaded 36,000 times; it's hard to imagine that more than a few hundred people built 10.6 from source on macOS, but I have not actual data.
