I like simple things, and I like to be in control of what is installed in my web apps, thats why I love CodeIgniter. I find those package managers overkill and I don’t fully trust all the stuff they will end up installing. I guess I’m getting old. 
Almost all modern web applications on PHP use Composer, try it, I think you will like it. I agree with you that installing Node is redundant. I uploaded client styles and scripts to Basic App main repository. Now you can not do "bower install".
Basic App, an open source simple CMS based on CodeIgniter 4
