I think the idea involved from other languages package managers like nodejsI think you have your history in a twist there: node.js was first released in 2009, by which time PEAR was already ten years old, and heading towards decline. The more likely inspiration is CPAN, Perl's package archive, whose command-line interface ships as a core module. More relevantly, the point in such bundling is to give users an official way of "bootstrapping" their environment, without having to go online and figure out what to do next.
