Well depending on what distribution I run, I must get different packages (rpm, tgz, deb, etc) depending on what distribution I use. That causes alot work for the guy who creates the packages, and not package for every distribution is released or they get delayed or needs to get contributed by other people.

Normal users dont want to hassle with libraries, dependencies, command line or compiling from source.
