As another data point, I always had trouble running gentoo-prefix / lemona.de on Fedora. More often than not it caughed up some error about file ownership/permissions and errored out.
Fundamentally, I think a user-space package manager like conda or hashdist is sufficiently different from a system-level package manager. E.g. for the former it is perfectly fine to blow away the entire managed file tree and reinstall, which doesn't really work on the system level. The latter has lots of other duties (like file ownership/permissions) which require admin access. As another example, rpm can also act as user-space package manager. Its just that everybody has long given up on building relocatable rpms and it has long gotten used to having admin access, so its a theoretical possibliity at best.
