I am so glad that I'm not the only one thinking package managers are complete nonsense. Even on macOS I have always found Homebrew or MacPorts to be rather dumb (at least the latter is saner in some ways).

Package managers have so many fundamental problems it's hard to even get started. But they appeal to the Linux type of person because it's a very communist type approach to things, authoritarian and panopticon like way.

At least nowadays they are trying to allow installing software in some more convenient way but I'm not holding my breath considering there are competing implementations.
