Because nobody volunteers to make one?  You may be appreciated by

And it'll be easier than ever if you use
https://github.com/timcharper/git_osx_installer/pull/156

That Pull Request adds a GitHub Actions-based workflow to build a Git
installer for macOS. See the Pull Request discussion for more information.

Ciao,
Johannes
