Perhaps you don't understand the use case. It's often the only option for users to install packages on an HPC system, as on such systems you cannot install things as root so the system package manager is infeasible. The only other possibility is Anaconda, but that has its origins as a Python tool and only has a fairly limited set of non-Python related packages.
