AFAIK similar problems occur under GNU/Linux where starting Emacs from
your desktop environment's GUI probably did not source your shell's
config either so your $PATH may be different than when you start Emacs
from a terminal.
This problem has been with us since before macOS became a thing.

Programs installed system-wide are normally available on your PATH on
GNU/Linux. On macOS, they're not, at least not in many common setups
like Homebrew installations in combination with GUI apps. That's why
such hacks are more needed.

There is indeed a difference of degree, but the underlying problem
is just as common.
