Large HPC system are just a different beast from your regular desktop or server. There is a high number of people or research groups all with different requirements. Trying to satisfy everyone is madness and require extremely flexible tools. spack, prefix, anaconda, easybuild are all potential tools for the situation. While spack may be more flexible I won’t pretend it solve every situations. Now for some packager comic relief if you haven’t seen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSemlYagjIU&t=29s François
