That is dangerous from a security perspective though. That third party binary, or your built binary, has permission to everything your user can, including exfiltration of your online banking sessions and so on. That's not appropriate in the modern computing environment. Apps that haven't otherwise been curated really need to be sandboxed, and if you have to go out of your way to arrange a sandboxed environment, well, that's what snaps do out-of-the-box, and we can't expect users to be able to stand that up manually any more than we can expect them to compile from source.
