Yeah it's definitely not simple, but I have repeatedly worked for companies that get stuck on all the problems that Bazel solves. I'm like "we should use Bazel, it solves this issue properly", and they're just like "nah... so anyway this is a big problem, how do we solve it??!".

It would be nice if it had better integration with existing package managers like pip, cargo, npm and so on though. Vendoring your dependencies is fine for a big project like Chrome or Android or your company monorepo; it's a bit annoying for a small CLI tool or whatever.

Another option is something like Landlock Make, but I haven't tried it.
