Laziness is a desirable trait in programming: it gets you to do things smarter, not harder. Packaging once and installing everywhere instead of packaging `n` times for pointlessly conflicting formats is like that.
Sandboxing and optional static linking is a bonus. The paradigms we've been using date to times when memory was scarce and software was rarer (there was literally less of it for maintainers to worry about) more innocent (no crypto jackers) and simpler (with less dependencies). We don't live in those time anymore.
