No, it is not a demonstration of anything. I'm not saying there is no fragmentation on linux, there is.
There are many solution that try to fix that: appimage, flatpak, snap and what not. All of them of some degree of success, and pitfalls. I, for example, am happy user of flapak, running steam games on a alpine distro without much problems.
But for this specific thing I just don't get why there is a curl/bash command. It is a wide available piece of software that you can easily install using distro’s repo. Don't want to user terminal? Just download any "mainstream" distro and will have a store like software available, type micro, click install and done.
Is there fragmentation in linux? Yes. Is is hard to guarantee it will work on every distro? Yes, a lot worse on software you can't compile. But micro IS NOT the demonstration of it.
There is no reason whatsoever micro should have "curl | bash" on the front page.
