The original Emacs was written for Multics at a time when people outside of Bell Labs were largely unaware of the existence of Unix[1]. It also doesn't follow the Unix philosophy of making small CLI utilities composed with pipes. As I

I mostly agree with you and I'm not going to get even near Snaps and Flatpaks. However, ignoring the aspect of software distribution, wouldn't you agree that the approach taken by the Linux desktop today is deficient security-wise
