Yeah third party repos are pretty unreasonable. The problem is that software development now moves pretty fast and package maintainers can't or don't want to keep up. That, coupled with the fact that building packages is far too difficult for most distros incentivizes people to take risks that they shouldn't be taking.
Systems need to be safe by default and they should largely service the needs of users. Distros are no longer doing that.
