This is not actually the case. We have several major packages which are ONLY
available as modules, for example.

So people would prefer no packages at all over packages in modules? I ask this as the traditional rpm way of doing is simply not working and that's the reason why many of us (old time Java packagers) just gave up, it's purely impossible to satisfy the needs of multiple "major" packages with same set of dependencies. This is not Java problem only for sure - look at Rust, Go, etc. I would being proved wrong but modularity at least gives an option for RPMs to continue to be viable option. With all it's weirdness so far no one gave better solution working to that extend at least.
