Why is something so seemingly simple (sane package management) so hard to accomplish?

Quicklisp is pretty bad but at least it's -somewhat- comprehensible and Lispy. Going over ocicl, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. What is ORAS, "artifacts", "OCI registries" and why should I care? Why is systems.csv CSV and not .lisp? What is this 9MB binary (no source) named "oras" doing checked into the repository?

If I wanted all this enterpriseitis I wouldn't be using Common Lisp. I think that's a big strike against ocicl.
