It's been a very long time for me since I looked at Mac-/anything/, but:
Homebrew installs the stuff you need https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t.
brew install tdsmith/ham/chirp
... just uses Homebrew to install the KK7DS Python runtime http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10.pkg for Mac OSX, right? Will Homebrew still install that runtime into "the next release of MacOS", when "32-bit executables will no longer be supported"?

The issue is that you must use a specific version of Python, linked to on the install page, for macOS. There is no 64-bit version of it available. Starting with the next release of MacOS, 32-bit executables will no longer be supported. Hence, without an upgrade path, Chirp on Mac will be dead.You don't /have/ to install it that way. The runtime is just the original supported method.
The instructions indicate you can also install via Homebrew: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download#MacOS-Users brew install tdsmith/ham/chirp
