It didn't, but Windows was very late at this too.
The Mac App Store is for app delivery, similar, but not exactly a replacement.
A package management system must take care of versions, dependencies, such as, this version of MySQL needs OpenSSL version X, Readline Y, etc. Make sure it doesn't mess with Python's OpenSSL/readline decencies which are both different from the ones used by the OS, and so on.
