That has nothing to do with Debian. How can your difficulties
installing some tarball be construed as Debian imposing anything on
upstreams?
Debian is a platform, as much as anything else. Change fundamental
things - file layouts, APIs, core services - that impacts anything that
runs on it.
We have things like the LSB precisely to provide a standard platform.
Changing the platform impacts everyone who writes stuff to run on the
platform.
