For example, you can 'deploy' some updated software with single click in Windows home networks, just with some initial setup. I believe Apple's similar solution also demands a pkg.
Developers now stay away from PKG as a tradition, not like Omni Group like experienced companies can't deliver their software in that format.
I don't hate 'drag drop' installs, I think it is a feature of OS X coming from MacOS days and Windows/Linux can't even dream about it. I just talk about 'what would happen'. If Apple wants the place it deserves in enterprise with Unix 03 compliant OS (same league as AIX), they should really overhaul the install system.
