We are distributing a version that was good some years ago, and even today
according to the OS specifications at https://isabelle.in.tum.de/installation.html

In other words: users who want to use Isabelle2019 with everything as expected

It is clear that such things need to be updated eventually. The standard
scheme is to have everything working with Catalina with the next official
Isabelle release.
