Just two comments from someone who didn't know org-mac-link-grabber existed until today (I'm gonna try it out) and hasn't (yet) contributed to org-mode.
1. It looks like it's actually enabled by default
2. You can detect whether it should be enabled by default with something like
(< 0 (length (shell-command-to-string
"mdfind kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == 'net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim'")))
which will tell whether you have skim installed. I haven't looked at org-mac-link-grabber to see if other similar changes could be made. So the defcustom would be changed to
(defcustom org-mac-grab-Skim-app-p
(< 0 (length (shell-command-to-string
"mdfind kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == 'net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim'")))
"Enable menu option [S]kim to grab page links from Skim.app"
:tag "Grab Skim.app page links"
:group 'org-mac-link-grabber
:type 'boolean)
