How to screw up a decent scanner - have a terrible software experience

Mac with Catalina - brother's driver site looks like it has versions that support it, but it won't install or not working properly. The included manual is useless except to provide a download URL. There are two drivers TWAIN and ICA, and there are no recommendations for choosing. iScan is also there and looks like it will complete the installation but the app is nowhere to be found. Selecting an older OS instead of 10.15 led me to where it directed the app download from the Apple Store and it worked. If you can fix installation issues you can make it work, but for people who rely on well-designed products this is too big a problem. Who developed this software?

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
