I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. What part of the OS should managed the packages? The creators aka. Microsoft/Linux foundation/Apple/Google, the distributor, or a kernel module? What about cross platform package managers like Nuget, gradle, npm?

What part of the OS should managed the packages?

The OS package manager. This is already a thing with Python in apt and pacman, where it will give you a fat warning if you try to install a package through pip instead of the actual OS package manager (i.e. pacman -Syu python-numpy instead of pip install numpy)
