The way Linux package managers have handled multiple versions of runtimes in the past is definitely wrong.

There is a lot of work in this area going on now, though. I think RHEL 8's application streams concept is pretty good: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/05/07/what-no-python...

Fedora has an analogue to this as well. It seems like a good move in the right direction.
