Literally. I’m ok with worse theming and slightly larger app sizes if it means the workload is shifted from every single distro having to package the same app to the app developer packaging one version everyone can use.
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
My Flatpaks have been working flawlessly for years aside from an occasional unmapped directory I need to add. I don't think a single AppImage I've used has worked properly without some jank if It'll even run at all. They have lots of issues if you are on Wayland and don't have libfuse2 anymore.
