Why is it so hard to install OpenCV for python on Mac?

I use Ubuntu at home, I was able to get up and running with OpenCV for python3 with one command sudo apt-get install python3-opencv Similarly on windows at work, I think it was something like pip3 install cv2 # or maybe the package name was a little different Then I tried to help my friend install opencv for python on his Mac so he could run some scripts I wrote, and was baffled by the complexity of the process; the "easy way" seems to require Xcode then Homebrew, the hard way is to compile from source. Is there pip for mac and a precompiled/preconfigured pip package that can be installed in one step?
