If you don't want or need version freedom, what is it about the existing deb/rpm ecosystems that don't work for you, either on their own or in conjunction with the various tools that bridge other ecosystems into them? (I'm a fan of dh_virtualenv, myself)
Or is your lament that the world as a whole is worse off because others have eaten of the fruit of systems like npm and pip?

(and here I'm even getting downvoted for going against the hivemind) I can only hope that after enough software supply chain attacks the industry will realize that distros were right all along.
