Yes, that's my point.
It's not acceptable to merely "manage" dependency hell as the net result is still unmanageable at OSS scale. You have to essentially eliminate the interplay of "which exact version do I have" with your code, which is why things like semver and soversions (on .ld.so's) try to accomplish.
Being able to have an unknown user download your code and the listed dependencies and have a repeatable build is invaluable for development.
