Well, you've chosen a terrible comparison then.

How many NPM repos are there? Just one, too-big-to-fail, centralized repository.

Don't ding apt/deb just because people setup their own repos rather than put all the code in the world into one bucket.

There's a lot more inconvenient things than adding the /etc/apt/sources

There are actually plenty, it's just that they're usually found on-prem at a company.
