AUR is one repository where you can't just update an outdated package maintained by someone else who quietly gave up maintenance. I have my own gentoo overlay where I have complete control. This sovereignty is really good for me. I can't stand waiting for permissions to take over maintenance of an outdated AUR package. If you don't have your own platform, you are a peasant. Also, pacman can't handle AUR. gentoo's emerge command can handle both the gentoo official overlay and third party overlays. I want one command to manage all repositories for me. Managing AUR with paru still feels like a dirty hack to me. I have wanted to move away from AUR handlers. |

This just shows that you don't have a good understanding of how pacman(8) or makepkg(8) operates on Arch Linux.
makepkg is the command that builds the actual packages from PKGBUILDs, pacman' job is to install those packages.
makepkg unlike paru is not a wrapper and is part of pacman itself.
