I've done apt-get install node on ubuntu and got a legacy package. Would you go to check if apt-get install firefox really install the browser and do it every single time you install something? It's not totally a bad excuse I think.

Those are applications, that you can use without the documentation. These are libraries, for which you need to read the documentation first, whether official or third-party. They're really not comparable at all.

For a long time the Docker install documentation contained no information that the proper package name in Debian was docker.io. So yes they are comparable.
