That is not what this link says, like at all. Read the graphS . Its graphed per month, and your assertion is only valid until march. In april it's way up again.
The seasonal graph, only available for spring, shows an increase for 2025.

Point 1 is way more complicated... Sorting out paths is the easiest, then you need to figure out dynamic linking/import hierarchies, and in the end you will have 2 distros in the same filesystem side by side. That's AppImage/Snap/Flatpak.

The second is a "devops" problem: developer, integrator and distributor should be separate entities. All three would constantly push and pull with different requirements.

Language repositories could be a thing, if they could be integrated directly into distro package managers, with a sane retention policy, and a common set of package sanity tests.
Paludis tried with perl or ruby, but found out that the language repository was using invalid yaml files everywhere, and it only worked because of a bug in the language yaml library.

I really hope for the day when pip can be taken over by portage.
It wouldn't be worse than pip itself (which has no way to specify build time dependencies, as I discovered with sqlalchemy, which failed to update because of an old GCC on the system)
I'd also like cargo to be taken over by portage, but considering rust doesn't do dynamic linking, the only use would be auditing the system.
ie the package manger warning you "firefox is using an old crate", but that breaks once again, because rust's crate dependencies are of specific versions.

In other words: We're creating a completely unmanageable mess...
