I smell what you're steppin' in. It (especially in combination with flatpak/appimage/the-dockerization-of-everything) somewhat protects users from poor decisions that might be made unwittingly by application developers (who, rightfully, should be working on making the best application possible, rather than digging into the brambles of "proper" packaging. For smaller projects with a limited number of maintainers, anyways.) That's all good and well I think. My biggest peeves will always be around its logging and whatever systemd-resolved tries to do.
