pip is installed by default on mac and linux. For non posix experienced users, pip installing packages is actually easier than figuring out how to put a binary on the path. Not to mention, updates are just a command, you dont have to go find the url, redownload, and replace the binary.
Realistically speaking people will most likely install cli tools with brew on mac. People shouldn’t be pip installing things without virtualenv anyway.
In that case it's irrelevant whether the thing is shipped as a normal python package, a static binary, or anything else, since it just comes from brew anyways.
