I am not a programmer, and I've used Macs since 1987. As far as I know, I haven't ever used a package manager and don't really know what they are beyond something that lets you install and delete apps.

If I want an app, I download it. If I don't want it any more, I move it to the trash. If I really don't want it anymore, I use AppZapper. Can someone explain to me why the issue of package managers comes up so often around these parts and why they're so important to people?
