So, I do not understand why I would not want to package libraries I rely on with my addons?

Due to the nature of (many) libraries containing code that somewhat "hacks" the ZOS code it may require updating after alot of API updates. As such, all addons containing the library will need to be updated by each of their author just to include a "fixed" version of the library. Even when the actual addon code didn't need any changes. While this may be manageable for some, it can quickly become a maintainance nightmare.
