We can in *principle* set the installer up that when it is running
on Mac it selects ~/Library/texmf as TEXMFHOME and maybe the other
changes, too.
I don't like it. I think the defaults in install-tl should not depend
on the current platform. The whole point of native TL is to be as
consistent as possible across platforms. I recognize there is this very
strong ~/Library convention on Macs, but still, my opinion remains
unaltered. Sorry.
