Mac OS 12.3, fresh install ScreenCloud does not execute due to lack of Python?

Hello, new MBP m1p running OS 12.3 w/ Xcode and it's developer tools installed. Apple has deprecated Python and after installing the ScreenCloud binary for Mac I attempt to execute and nothing happens. I try to execute by CLI and receive the following error:

/Applications/[ScreenCloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud](http://screencloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud) ; exit;
@mbp ~ % /Applications/[ScreenCloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud](http://screencloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud) ; exit;
dyld[10928]: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
  Referenced from: /Applications/[ScreenCloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud](http://screencloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud)
  Reason: tried: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (no such file), '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (no such file)
zsh: abort      /Applications/[ScreenCloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud](http://screencloud.app/Contents/MacOS/screencloud)

I understand I can most likely compile Python QT per the docs and compile ScreenCloud manually - but wanted to let you know the binary Mac method is most definitely broken for new users, at least it was in my case. It doesn't appear Apple replaced python with a newer version or anything... simple removed it all together.
