I think we have a version of this in our makefile for Apple Darwin already, so it may just work already? But builds work on my machine...so I'm scared to also take this out of the instruction set for macOS incase this somehow breaks the build for other people lol 👀
Perhaps we should be bold and take it out?

The Makefile feels like a better place to put this for sure 🤔

For now, they will also need the openssl library. These lines can go away once #8647 gets merged in.

Okay, so I think this is what happened to me: 1) I had brew installed on my Intel Mac 2) I got an Apple Silicon Mac 3) I setup my new Mac by copying over Intel Mac harddrive 4) I now have two brew's installed on my machine: a) /usr/local/bin/brew (for intel macs & cross-compiling) b) /opt/homebrew/bin/brew (for (for apple silicon) 5) The wrong brew was in my path (a) Looking through our getting started docs, we seem to reference both /usr/local/... and opt/homebrew/... Update the installation document to mac this and related issues more clear for new users who might run into this problem. Changelog-None
