The quality of a package manager is of much less importance to a desktop system user than the (un)readability display, I would think.

That is a very dangerous statement tbh. In general it is much more important for any system to have its foundations robust.

A package management system is a convenience, not a requirement for desktop users. Chromebooks have one of the most robust and well built foundations I've ever seen, and the platform lacks any semblance of low level package management.
