It’s how we end up with curl https://some.rando.url/install.sh | sudo bash -c as an acceptable way of installing software. Don’t understand it, don’t question it, don’t look at what that shell script you’re running as root does, just copy / paste / and go! I don’t want to care about the details!

How do you know that people do not read the scripts first and come to the conclusion “that is safe, nice that somebody build a convenience script I just need to read”?

there are dozens of replies like “just use yunohost” or “just rebuild your entire server with unraid”

Same as above. I read those comments as helpful “hey, that worked for me, maybe it does for you, YMMV” instead of “everybody should do it”.

Depends highly on the people. I learned that way, to get started with recipes enabled me to get early successes which in turn motivated me.

Down the road I needed different things from my setup, which could not be found in a simple recipe anymore, so I needed to learn the parts of the machine.

Years ago I tried Snipe IT. As your examples seem to be focused on household and grocery stuff, Snipe IT might be overkill, but according to documentation it supports SAML at least.
