The problem here is that, users generally have some small subset of things they really care about. A particular app, or their own dev environment, etc. For these things.. they want that control. But the allure of distributions is for all of the other things that you don't care about, e.g. I just want to use this command line tool, you can just install the package and have it work. And also know you can uninstall it, in many cases receive security updates, etc. That is primarily where the two worlds collide.
