The notable language ecosystem which is different is "C on Unix", which grew up with "the system provides the dependencies, it's often easier to avoid a dependency if you can, the program usually needs to be able to cope with whatever version of the dependency the system has, rather than pinning to a specific one". That's the primary ecosystem that most Linux distro package managers developed with as their platonic-ideal-shape-of-an-application, I think.
