Hi Pierre,
The main reason (from my experiences) for the ISP is lazynes. They
don't care about what the users may need or not but simply run
configure, make make install, or use the <xyz> distribtutions default
package to run common applications like phpmyadmin or wordpress.
That's a heck of an assumption to make, given that we're presenting non-PHP
users with 100+ packages and no information...!
