It was...easier? If your intent is ship-once working software, you write towards that goal. You use fewer dependencies, and they are all effectively version locked. It's like putting books in a box. You put them in the way you expect them to ship, rearrange as needed, and when they're all securely in, you ship. The current update fast and furiously free for all is like trying to bundle a few dozen kittens in a bed sheet by comparison. Often with a bunch of random chaos monkeys you've never met "helping."
