Me too! I absolutely see a lack of package manager as a pro. I also hate to saddle anything with 600MB I don't need. 100% agree.
I would go as far as to say that Prolog is more a problem solving language rather than a system building language. Package managers and module systems are for modularization of big systems. You don't need that when solving small recurrent problems. Furthermore, lack of them forces you to avoid dependencies, that most of the time would end as technical debt. IMHO.
