Pull request description:

  It is https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27099 revived with addressed [comments](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27099#issuecomment-1708705686).

  From https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27099#issue-1584429885:
  > Reviving the discussion around using a `.zip` for the distributed macOS binaries, as opposed to a `.dmg`.
  >
  > Given we only had a single report of the "no finder window" issue (#26176), I wonder if that means macOS users were able to figure it out, they gave up/didn't report, or, we just have very few macOS users.
  >
  > Related to #18128.

  That's how it looks on macOS:
