Sorry for only reading a bit at t he top, but languages often need their own library installers not because (all) OSes are failing the package deployment, but that some OSes that the language targets doesn't. It just takes one bad OS (though really it's windows/OSX) that can't have good package managers. Why do chocolaty / brew exist? Because the os vendors aren't interested in propagating software that's not making them money, direct or no.
