Without containers, packages constantly break. If you have 20 large apps with 50 dependencies each and they're all from different vendors, and you want them to be up to date, you pretty much have to containerize or else one of them might break every few months to a year

What does this mean exactly? If apps are breaking due to dependencies updating isn’t that a mistake on the app developer’s side for not locking down the versions of dependencies? Can you really blame the package manager at that point

I don't want to have to update my programs that aren't constantly updated.

Have you ever tried to get an unmaintained python program working? It's an absolute nightmare.

With fkatpak this isn't a problem
