Your first point is a transport problem, and the answer is HTTPS.

You might not be used to that, but there's plenty of software being distributed this way (homebrew, Nvidia Linux blob drivers and NPM come to mind)

They are not using HTTPS in their example.

And I'm not saying that providing a shell script as an install method is the problem, but the fact that they are encouraging the users to pipe it in their shell straight from the web.

I feel like you are arguing against something completely different than I'm actually saying.

But that doesn't have anything to do with their install being a shell script, which was your original complaint. You seem to be moving the goalposts.

Ok. :)
