I/O + the absurd lengths you need to go to to (mostly) safely use Git as an external binary + no package repository to globally cache things like package names

I/O + the absurd lengths you need to go to to (mostly) safely use Git as an external binary + no package repository to globally cache things like package names and versions. yea. "SAT solving" was an incredibly tiny amount of the runtime, like you'd expect for a CPU-bound algorithm.
It's a straw man that keeps getting dragged out, but anyone who has used and understood this kind of dependency manager knows it's meaningless. You can definitely argue about its impact on community behavior, but it functions just fine, handles a ton of real-world issues reasonably, and it's nowhere near slow enough to care about.
