Yeah, the closest .NET equivalent is Binding Redirection hell, and NuGet and Visual Studio and .NET Core have spent years of work making that better than it was at its worst in the early NuGet days. There's a couple of low level APIs that are still annoying problems to redirect if you need to support particular sets of .NET Framework and .NET Core, but beyond that a lot of it is managed for developers automatically these days.

Yeah, the VS interface for managing it is not great, but the new project file format is a lot easier to understand and manage, so I've had good luck just making manual changes.
