...or there *is* no built-in packaging system.
There is none in macOS, and not everybody has installed any of the third-party packaging systems; we don't require them.
Oracle provides a packaging system for Solaris 11, but older versions don't have it.
HP-UX doesn't have one, as far as I know; the best you have is the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre.
AIX doesn't have one, either, as far as I know.
The *BSDs have "ports"/"packages" and the like.
