Maybe you want that, but I generally want the version of the application that the devs have tested the most. I've dealt with many issues due to slight differences between dependency versions, and I'd rather not provoke them. (That said, I do like debian for boring infrastructure, because they can keep things patched without changing things, but for complex desktop apps, nah, give me the upstream versions please. And for things I'm developing myself the distro is but a vehicle for a static binary or self-contained folder)

They do, but most distro only supports one or two versions in the official repos.
