I consistently see this complaint, and it really rubs me wrong. Why
does everyone compare rpm to apt? Wouldn't rpm to deb be the correct

Because the distribution vendors continue to conflate the packaging format
with the configuration management tool. Debian made a proper separation of
the two.
So has Red Hat, though it took some time. SUSE too has solutions
equivalent to apt - several of them.
