The problem with intermediary libraries is that they require work on 
the programmer side to work. I think there is value in being able to 
write a simple program just by importing std.simpleaudio and having it 
work instantly without having to install any library or play with 
linker flags (which will be handled by pragma(lib) if you let DMD 
handle the linker). And it's also easier to distribute your app if it 
doesn't depend on dynamic libraries not installed by default on the 
system.

I'm not saying those libraries are not useful, only that they come with 
some complications.
