What exactly is worse then with a .dmg, except that macOS users are rather used to .dmg?

On macOS, the .dmg approach is strictly better experience than the .tar.gz approach, so continuing to use this makes sense to me.

The point was not to remove the link to the .dmg, but, since the .tar.gz file is already available, why hide it and not give the choice to the user?

Because it’s a strictly worse experience, and there’s no point in providing both of them?
