C and C++ dependency hell comes from prioritizing user experience over dev experience. Imagine if every little tool you used shipped a full fledged system running in a docker container. It would be a nightmare. As a user it's possible to put up with this, even enjoy it, when there are a handful of tools using it. A container running your webserver and its dependencies like database and caching for instance, that's reasonable.
