One might want to compile Sage for oneself on macOS
in particular if one wants to

- get a Python 3 based Sage
- install extra packages (the macOS binaries don't ship openssl
  so they don't allow "sage --pip install package_name" out of the
  box, one first needs to "sage -i openssl" and "sage -f python2"
  and "sage -f python3" and "make")
- get involved in SageMath development
