Why the need to be so aggressive toward open-source contributor ? And most product become good through iterative refinement. Ship it and listen to feedback to make it better is a perfectly valid way to do things, especially for open-source project.

Then you are not the target demographic for snap or flatpack. I personally had to often install application that where not available on my distro repo, and the plurality of way to install application, plus manage their own dependencies, was a nightmare.
