GoboLinux and Package Management - GNU/Linux

I just read the review (https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20170123#gobo) of GoboLinux on DistroWatch and I stumbled upon something interesting. Gobo rearranges the classic unix file structure to a more humanreadable format and organization. (It was also mentioned in the nixers podcast about the unix file structure)
Anyways, in the review, they mentioned Gobos applications are contained in a single directory. If you want to uninstall an application, you can just delete the directory. Could one use this as a replacement for traditional package-management? You would just need some kind of dependency resolution, but all the tracking of files could be avoided through the intelligent file structure design.
I really like the idea of installing packages just with make and delete them with rm. Feels really unix-y for me.
Opinions, corrections or something else?
