"You're holding it wrong"?

Not sure what you're trying to say here. This person has opinions about package managers, but also shows lack of understanding of how they and the dependencies work. Small bits of that could be improved with a better documentation, but the rest... you just need to understand something before criticising it.

If you want to use a distro then you accept the distro maintainers decisions on what's a dependency.

If you want to yolo it and let scripts run with root access from some random person, you can go use arch with the AUR
