What makes you think the knowledge is rare? Among developers who actively target linux distributions I would imagine the opposite is true.
Even a number of the referenced curl|bash offenders are just using that as a "shortcut" to add their own apt/yum repos and calling apt-get/yum to install their binary package(s).
