You are thinking about this from your perspective. But what about the company that wants to release software but has to be put thought the hassel of supporting 4 different install systems. Not only that there is no unified way of making them so each one has to be made differently and supported differently.

That would only be a problem if you switch distro's every week, I guess.
I mean, why do you want to use a debian package on a gentoo system and vice versa?
