But it is cumbersome. Linux distros have the same issue, rpm or .deb packages cannot have the same name but still support having 2 versions of a package/library installed. If it's a shared library and they don't get the SONAME versioning right for incompatible backwards compabiliry, it's even more cumbersome, and incurs more work for everyone to consume that library.
