Is it really fragmented? You support Ubuntu (in either its flatpak runtime or the Steam runtime) and you let everyone else figure it out on their own. Distros like Arch have been very good about providing the Steam Native Runtime and Ubuntu flatpak runtime in its own package system for just that reason.
The support burden for developers is proportional to the operating systems you officially say you support. If you support "Linux" you are supporting thousands of completely dissimilar execution environments. If you support Ubuntu, or Steam, or a Flatpak target you are only supporting that one operating system.
And thats fine. Thats all Linux users really want anyway. If it breaks on your distro its your responsibility to fix it so long as it works on its officially supported target OS.
