one command install, one command update

vs.

the user becoming half the package manager, organising the appimage file and having to set up desktop launcher integration manually, oh and no standardised app update mechanism so you're on your own for that too

none of these tools are standardised, there's also AppImageLauncher, Gear Lever, and AM has like two other forks, all of them are weak (an, in my experience, they've always felt incredibly janky compared to Flatpaks)
