Why not just abandon the pinentry-mac, and getting the password by yourself?

I'm keeping this open as it is becoming a really good suggestion 😅.

The reason why I didn't go that route was because pinentry-mac already implements everything what is expected from a pinentry GUI program, it uses the data provided by the agent to tweak the UI and I would had to either reimplement that logic completely or just go for a very basic UI that only asks for the password and does not concern itself with the rest of the underline dance/protocol.

An additional point for abandoning pinentry-mac, is application repository has been archived by the developers.
