Hello,
Should I conclude that there are no recommendations?

Best regards,

> By default library install() command uses CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (/usr/local by default) as a base for relative install paths. But when you define install rules for macOS frameworks, it doesn't make much sense to install them there. I'd rather expect something like /Library/Frameworks.
