I am a retired Sysadmin who fully understands all the frustrations brought about by the SW installation without real control. Although only for my system, I regularly build a SW package (RPM) for SW, which is not in distribution. Which is actually quite easy. So I always have a clean system and can be very easy to update or delete. However, this is less and less necessary as more SW is available.
My guess is that it's only easy after you have done it a few times.
I have experience with being told things are easy.
One time a linux guru told me something was
easy and then proceeded to do it for me.
It took him several hours.
Yes, sometimes it can take several hours.
But it still pays off compared to simple "make install" into /usr/local or even worse into /usr.
I should have been more clear:
The several hours was a lot more than
the several minutes he was expecting.
