The discussion is about packaging your software for users, not yourself. Stow is a solution for managing non-packages software on your personal system, not for distributing it.

Most people don't package their software for distros.

Smart distros keep things close to upstream so the burden is small.

This is a weird argument.

Now you want each developer to manage dependency updates for their application? I don't trust them to develop their own app let alone apply security patches properly.
