I think it is mostly because haskell-language-server is not on stackage
and the hackage importer is[1] not able to recursively import working
versions of the dependencies. Thus packaging HLS is quite tidious as one
has to manually go through all the tens of invalid dependency versions.
Updating ghc would probably help a bit, but I don't think it is the main
issue.

[1]: There was recently some work related to importing hackage packages
by version so maybe this has changed
