Wouldn't every conventional operating system be using the wild-west model? Windows, OSX, even Linux[1][2]: if you need a program, you go out onto the internet and look for it.
[1] At least, it can be used that way. It fits the Janitor model much better when using repositories to install programs, or at least what I imagine the Janitor model to be (weakly curated system with misbehaving applications removed).
[2] I'm also ignoring all of the less common/lower profile operating systems, because the only one I can name is BSD and I've never used it.
