Well if I remember correctly, they make it really annoying. Like you can only have one developer extension at a time, and you need to set it up again every time you restart chrome. I doubt most people will bother.

Just did some testing. Chrome stable 54.0.2840.59 on linux. Put on OP's extension from source and an extension of my own that was already in there. No issues. Then I packed both of them and installed them both packed, again no issues.

You're not crazy though, the internet seems to agree that there was an issue.

I believe the restrictions only apply to Windows and Mac builds not Linux.
