To me those two questions look like they are about getting the foundations beneath PostGIS built to support it, rather than about having a problem with a relatively vanilla install of PostGIS (but installing PostGIS is not an area where I claim any expertise). I think the latter would be clearly on-topic but I am nowhere near as certain about the former.

I think this is an issue where we need to let the close/re-open and up/downvoting play out both here on Meta and in Q&As on Main (like those you cite) to try and uncover where community consensus lies.

I think it is too early, and complicated, for anything to be written into the very limited real estate of our on-topic page at this time.

For me to decide where I stand on it I would need to know more about whether the questions you are asking about are mainly about PostGIS, PostgreSQL or homebrew. If they involve things that can manifest between PostgreSQL and homebrew in the absence of PostGIS (even though you are using PostGIS) then any support by me for them to be considered on-topic here would wane quickly.
