Installing a bunch of things isn't a problem (until you discover a
conflict that someone else didn't).  But there were people who insisted
on they must install absolutely everything.  As well as the potential
for there being more problems the more things installed, there were
packages that were mutually exclusive (you can't have both at the same
time).  And there's zero point into trying to install Nvidia packages
when you don't have Nvidia hardware, for example.
