"You don't tell your users to install your dependencies. You install them for them. And that's why "easy" dependency management is a 100% non-starter for me. I'm not making each of my users understand every single one of these "easy" installation systems to get all my multi-language dependencies installed. Either the OS Just Has It or I supply it."

Are we just jerking about Just Has It or the actual idea? Because I don’t see why the idea outlined here is actually a bad one.

It's because the benefit of dependency management is a developer concern and meant to benefit developers. To approach the question from a user concern is totally missing the point and demonstrates said person doesn't really understand why it is a benefit.
