The idea of Gobo was to replace the cryptic Unix filesystem hierarchy with something clearer and more human-readable, and in so doing, replace a whole bunch of things that package managers do, making them almost unnecessary.
Your point doesn't address this at all. You're talking about building from source instead of using a package manager, as far as I can see?
But compiling from source still puts the resultant binaries somewhere in the existing Unix filesystem layout. It doesn't matter where the binaries come from. This isn't about where they come from -- it's about where they go.

I honestly don't see the connection.
