I'm curious why. To me "We updated our library to change some things in a way that's an improvement on net but only mostly backwards compatible" seems like an extremely common instinct in software development. But in an environment where people are doing that all the time, the only way to reliably deploy software is to completely freeze all your direct and indirect dependencies at an exact version. And Docker is way better at handling that than traditional Linux package managers are.

Why do you think other tools will make a comeback?

You can write any software you want without worrying about depending on a specific set of system dependencies. I like software that "just works", and making something that will give you inscrutable linking or dependency errors if the OS isn't set up just so is a practice I think should go away.
