They share virtual the same data base ;). If two management systems
would share the same database, they would become a new, third package
management ;). Users might not care about what happens under the
hood, especially those who prefer a GUI over command line tools
to maintain their installs.

GUIs don't make life always easier, since command line tools could be
used in combination with other command line tools and handy bashisms,
so tailored installs could be easier realized by using command line.
