I don't deny there are some problems with package managers, but I also don't want to go back to a world where it is a huge pain to add any dependency, which leads to projects wasting effort on implementing things themselves, often in a buggy and/or inefficient way, and/or using huge libraries that try to do everything, but do nothing well.

It's a tradeoff. When package users had to manually install dependencies, package developers had to reckon with that friction. Now we're living in a world where developers don't care about another 10^X dependencies, because the package manager will just run the scripts and install the files, and the users will accept it.
