We could simply stop doing projects that throw wildly different versions of software into a single installation, which causes this issue.
There's a word for this that I can't remember at the moment---'producting'? I think it's related to the monorepo approach from large companies like Google and Facebook, so that developers just push out a bundle containing all the pieces from the monorepo that their software uses. It causes headaches for everyone else, but works for the original developers and their friends, so I'm afraid that it's hard to avoid.
An OS distro like Fedora also can be seen as a monorepo, containing the latest distributed versions. It's just that our versions don't correspond to the versions of the developer. If only we could all agree on one gigantic, universal monorepo of all software in the universe that everyone uses :)
