The whole situation with language package managers like Ruby and Node make them completely inappropriate for end users and deployment.
Most apps merrily pull in hundreds of dependencies. Some deps need a complete build environment, others may require specific versions that quickly lead to fragility, dependency hell and thousands of wasted hours.
These kind of package managers only make sense and see maximum use in SAAS type apps or dev centric environments explaining perhaps why some devs do not realise the issue. But this just doesn't make sense for deployment.
