I do this solely because I don't like packages, I don't use them, and I don't want to maintain them for other people.
To the people who want to use my code, it is recommended prominently in multiple places that they not blindly trust the code and actually inspect it before using it. The friction in this process is intended.
The code I write is primarily for me. Other people can use it if they want to, and I hope it helps them, but I don't care much about how many chose to use it or not. If they do, they have to work with my preferred way of distributing code.
There have been times where third parties have included my code in their packages, but I'm explicitly not the package author in those cases, so it (the package) is not my responsibility.
