What is Procursus bootstrap and why is it useful/important to macOS users?

Procursus is a bootstrap typically used to install dpkg/apt on rootless jailbroken iOS and other related OSes (ex. tvOS). There is a more unknown version of this meant for Big Sur but it runs on the latest version of macOS.

For your second statement it is mostly just a gimmick and has no real use as most of the binaries from most repos need to be recompiled for Mach-O
