That’s a good point. I run all my server type apps on FreeBSD which avoids dependency issues by versioning things that aren’t compatible. for instance you can install php7.4 or 8.1 as packages php74/php81 and different things that require those are compiled to look for the right library. I kinda wish linux would consider the same thing but idk if individual distro maintainers would want that kind of extra work
