I then ran open on the tar file that Homebrew downloaded, /Users/me/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/b0078d810c2572ae6b96e4efddde18bca329a18ebc0aa292b6703f8c15595649--yabai-v4.0.4.tar.gz, which ran successfully.
that file seems to contain a working yabai executable, docs, and examples, so I just moved them to where I wanted them.
so it seems that the tar file is fine - I feel disappointed that brew doesn't seem to indicate at all why yabai can't be installed from the bottle.

I had the same issue @pclalv. Running xcode-select --install and installing the command line developer tools, then running brew install koekeishiya/formulae/yabai again solved it.
