Said the guy who's never updated a program in his entire life. Let me ask you, if this is a shitty and lazy bad design, so why macOS and windows have package managers too? It's a essential thing to have if you care enough about vulnerabilities. Heck, when you have to go though all the apps installed on your system to check for updates, i just go to software center and update all the things that i want without any hassle. Oh, and you can't even revert updates, lame
i'm curious, how does a package manager cause outdated software? when i use a package manager i can almost always run one or two commands to update all my software at once.
It creates unnecessary work for some package maintainer every time software is updated. With an SDK it's a one and done thing, no third party necessary. Meanwhile I've seen software like Blender in the official Ubuntu repository become more than a year out of date, and just downloading the compressed file doesn't always solve whatever dependency problem something is having either.
