> the expectation is that you deploy them in isolated user accounts or containers.

Why are you lying right now? This is a norm across the dev tools world for businesses to distribute dodgy curl piped to bash scripts that users install without question, popular examples: homebrew, docker, nvm, bun, deno, k3s. There is zero "expectation" given by any of these install scripts that they are isolated. Can you even find a single source online that suggests doing what you said for you to think its a commonly held expectation?
