>"Properly" as in "works on OS X releases that came bundled with X11
Which is up until 10.7 which about 1% of the user base still run.
We are today 3 major releases ahead! If you need to see the adoption rate of OS
X 10.10, then look at this graph http://update.omnigroup.com which shows real
statistics of what versions of OS people use. In comparison to Windows and
other operating systems, the adoption rate of newer release is very very high
under OS X.
If you don't support XQuarz then you don't support 10.8, 10.9, 10.10. Then
please say so on the webpage so people don't download a version they can't use.
Or you could also simply fix the problem in a post install script by calling
install_name_tool to fix the paths (I'm not sure however if install_name_tool
is part of the system without developer tools)

Apple doesn't install X11 at all anymore. So there's no broken Yosemite
installer.
The only thing apple installs is a placeholder which redirects users to an
article on their website saying you should download XQuarz.
