It has a really weird feedback loop problem. I've spoken to some developers of the most popular elementaryOS apps and the amount they get from donations is extremely small, which limits how much time they want to spend making an app specific to such a small userbase. At some point they usually consider that the monetization of the app on elementaryOS isn't worth anything and they just re-work the app to be for Gnome systems overall and push it to Flathub.
