In part because different people want different things from the packaging, with often conflicting goals. Those conflicts increase pretty quickly when you take into account different platforms/type of development (desktop apps vs "libraries" vs webapp vs etc...). The "cross-platformness" alone, with the underlying philosophical differences on how to do deployment (bundling vs backward compatible dependencies, etc...) is quite hard to manage.
