yo, that is the way how linux works, for sure. but from a psychological perspective, it might feel good to make 'tabula rasa'. also do many people tend (me included) to install stuff and install stuff, so that they don't anymore what was installed. and even if you remove that stuff, the stuff, that was installed, because it was a dependency of the previous stuff, remains installed. there are for sure clean ways to handle that, but starting from scratch just 'feels' very different -> you _add_ something (positive), you don't _remove_ stuff (negative).
For that I have my big "apt-get dist-upgrade", when a new version of Debian comes out. I see it like this: I don't want to tear down the house and build it again when all I want is new color on the walls.
