And one of the biggest reasons here is package management - the rpm, Deb , Pacman split is one of the biggest divides. I don't know if I should add APK to this list.
We had a chance to fix it in the new world, but it's gone back to a zeroinstall versus flatpak versus snap vs Deb vs rpm vs Pacman ecosystem.
Lets see if Docker CNAB and systemd push this ecosystem forward.
