Maybe people are worried about the liability if some complete noob with a LimeSDR board starts jamming police radio bands or something?

GNURadio does also have a store directly for it called PyBOMBS [2] as well, though it is unfortunately not included by default, and it has been a few years since I checked it so I don't know how much it has.
Gnuradio is a bit overcomplicated at this point also, using both Qt and GTK, and a long list of other dependencies.
Luaradio[2] is quite nice as an alternative, and is much easier to embed into an end application as Lua itself is very good at that kind of thing.

I remember I tried to get a temperature sensor decoding gnu radio plugin working and I never solved it.
Couldn't run it on a Pi, it required a fast intel system to be usable. That eliminated the nice raspberry pi "canned image" solution other projects use to cut through the dependency mess.
So I had to do a linux installation from scratch.
But the online packages for gnu radio were broken or out of date.
So I had to build GNU radio from scratch.
And once I got GNU radio going any existing gnu radio program was broken because it required an exact version of gnu radio and other dependencies.
Maybe it is better now, that was a few years back.
I've also come to see the light with Arch Linux, so that might help.
