That would mean more work for everyone and consequently less adoption.
How so? It's the same amount of commands, maybe one extra.
Seriously, I think it's the best approach possible and really couldn't imagine using a more manual system to the extend that I do now. But more importantly, it would mean that we have a problem with cross-platform packages. You can't expect everyone to be able to build for all platforms. But if they don't, you can't know the dependencies or whatever else for those other platforms, even if the code would in theory compile fine.
The packages don't need to contain compiled binaries. It could still be source distribution.
