Are they the same across all RPM based systems?
Yes, they are and the third party packages have no excuse if they are
deliberately disabling the automatic dependency mechanisms.
It's not that simple. VMware does this for a simple reason: they want a
single RPM that works on *all* distros. Essentially it's like static
linking (except they don't, they just ship their own dependencies).
They might just do that. A package that ignores all dependencies isn't
very useful regardless of the motivation behind it.
