Package managers are sometimes great for the user, and as mentioned, a pain for the developer in many cases. To cover even "basic" bases, the developer has to manage many package managers. Ouch.

From the user side, the package manager often doesn't do what I want, either. I could install Node (as an example) via `apt` or `yum`, and end up with a Node installed in a root location. Now I'm in a mess. Or I could use a install script, or even yet another 3rd party solution such as `npm` to do what I actually want: Node installed for me. ...of course, I just mentioned a whole other can of worms: All the "other" package managers out there.

TL;DR: KISS often is the best solution.
