One could, but no one has. That's the whole discussion, there are multiple partial implementations with limited adoption.

MSYS2 actually has one based on pacman and PKGBUILDs. I remember unofficial vita SDK going similar route as well. Probably there's tons of similar solutions but not marketed well enough.

The marketing part is the hard part, ideas are a dime a dozen, unfortunately.

These solutions need to be almost ubiquitous to be truly useful.
