I don't get why parts of the Linux community are so resistant to embrace AppImages and provide first class integration for them. Decent desktop integration isn't that hard.

As a user I want to download the thing and run it. AppImages provide that.

As an app developer I want to create one single package that works everywhere that users can just download. AppImages provide that.

Snap and Flatpacks are solving problems that don't need solving for most people. Shitty sandboxing that doesn't even work and makes my app slower? I don't want it.

Most software is best installed by the native package manager. For the few exception AppImages are perfects.
