I’m talking about things like “python3-blabla” and “libsomething”. How bad would it be if nobody used these library-packages and everyone just added all kinds of libraries as part of an application’s package?

    Some do, but there absolutely system wide libraries installed from things like dotnet, and included in the system. Just like with Linux though some software was built against an old incompatible library and has to include it, or has its own proprietary ones.

      You’re presenting it like most libraries an application will use are system libraries, and a few exceptional cases they will bundle a dll. This is absolutely not the case, the vast majority of libraries are bundled.
