I've done SDE interviews with random companies (and administered them), although normally they are called SWE in the bay area.
Many of the questions in leetcode have a skill rating. The easy ones- I expect most programmers to be able to figure out in 30 minutes and type out an answer. The hard ones- those are for people (as you say) doing programming competitions, or who are doing CS research and have a lot of prior knowledge and skill, or for extreme coders operating at the 10X level.
I think many people have moved to macports. In my experience, the Googlers mostly do dev in the cloud and don't depend on having custom software installed on their machines. Also I think the other big problem was that half of homebrew is broken any time you try to install something complicated.
I did the opposite. Macports reliably broke itself every three or four months under ordinary use, and Homebrew's package selection was much more useful to me, so I switched. I also think the Homebrew CLI is above-average, ergonomics-wise.
Granted, that was about 10 years ago, but exchanges for/against brew and macports looked awfully similar then. But maybe it got better, I dunno.
