That's because web devs have different expectations. They *expect* to work with a packaging tool. They expect to find and install dependencies. They don't expect to work with a ton of native dependencies. They don't have the same problems.
This only scratches the surface of the technical complexity here. The reason there are so many tools for managing Python dependencies is because Python is not a monoculture and different folks need different things.

But let's assume for a moment that you can overcome those technical challenges. You can create a tool and workflow that works for the vast majority. Now you have to deal with people. You gotta convince a bunch of unpaid volunteers that you're right and that they should help.

@stargirl@hachyderm.io For the bioinformatics world, the "solution" is to use Conda. Even for R.
