Well when you want to keep multiple versions of kde or qt around.. and
want to be able to remove them in one fell swoop.. and the "packing

For a normal desktop user you're perhaps right.  But not using the ports
for some things does not make one stupid, as quite possibly there's a good
reason behind it.
