Not much that can be done about the trouble in an environment like homebrew until you get to a new enough version of GDAL that it can be configured to use plugins. Then it might be possible. https://gdal.org/en/latest/development/rfc/rfc96_deferred_plugin_loading.html |

Not sure if this rises to the level of an actual bug, but I just ran
brew install postgis
to add the PostGIS extension to my existing PostgreSQL install and was surprised at the number of packages it ended up having to download and install.Maybe there's nothing that can be done about it, but it seems off to me that installing a PostgreSQL extension should give me a couple GUI libraries, a C compiler, a new Python version, and two additional non-PostgreSQL database engines, among other things.
Happy to file an issue on this if it's an actual bug, but maybe this is just the way it has to be.
I should add that the install succeeds and the extension works afterwards.
