I'm not sure what you mean, having a default repository seems like a sane decision to me. Do you have a language in mind that doesn't do this?

You have to install package management tools and point to repos for most languages - Erlang, Java, PHP, Lua, etc.

Very few languages include a package manager as part of the LANGUAGE.
