I agree, but it reduces the scope of the project incredibly. Freeing up resources that can be spent elsewhere. Much like how Homebrew doesn't seem to support multiple users on the same box. It addresses 80-90% of people's need. I feel like it is less necessary for a user-land package manger like Homebrew, but doesn't Arch Linux and Gentoo do the same thing with the whole OS? I've heard of issues, but in general people seem ok with it. Personally, I've looked to Nix, but went back to Homebrew it after having trouble with the UI, lack of packages, and learning curve of contributing my own packages. I'm hoping to try again sometime.
