> ...complete absence of a competitive, platform agnostic packaging & distribution solution

Well, to be fair, it's more like there are two (or so) good cross platform ones at the moment, but there isn't one so popular to be de facto. And there isn't one that is standard.

Besides, the most popular packaging and distribution systems for native code might still be the popular Linux distros. Packaging and distributing precompiled binaries with native ABIs (not targeting interpreters or runtimes) is much more complicated. Folks have decided to value other things than portability of packages for now. That could change in the future.
