Using a browser to download a browser is for people who don't know how to use a package manager.

You need a browser to install a packages manager on Windows or Mac.

(Unless you’ve memorized the urls you need and can use curl)

Both Windows and Mac come with package managers of sorts. Windows has WinGet and the Windows Store. Mac has the App Store.

That’s fair. App Store as the GUI equivalent of a package manager makes sense.
