I will note even namespaces for package management that don’t use DNS are a big step up over none.

For example in PHP/composer/packagist and node/npm they just have a vendor name that can be reserved.

It makes it very easy to distinguish “this package is from the (trusted vendor name here)” and prevents issues with namesquatting.
