Some applications have features that extend beyond what can be surfaced through the standard menu bar but the infrastructure is there for "normal" apps.
Ubuntu used to have something similar in earlier versions of Unity. It would surface Gtk and Qt menu trees in a searchable interface.
Still, there's the possibility of users clicking "Cancel". Even then, it's a bit more code to write, test and pay for (from the POV of a client).
Wrapping the bundle inside a .pkg instead of a .dmg solves the problem "for free".
On an unrelated product we learned that users ended up with many different copies of the app scattered throughout the system, if they were allowed to use the traditional bundle + DMG distribution method. Spotlight would then helpfully pick one random copy, with obvious consequences wrt. project file versioning. That is despite the DMG having the usual symlink to /Applications for a drag-and-drop installation.
I have an old app deployed to App Engine. The app itself is rock solid and chugging along fine (I touch it once a year or so), but I dreaded having to deploy it due to the lack of vendoring support and other... peculiarities of the Go runtime. Glad to see this is no longer an issue!

They are also the main sponsors behind the JMAP protocol [2] and some open source projects such as the Cyrus IMAP server.

I used to have my own email server.
Having to manage yet another public server is a stress on its own. Having to worry about server backups, security, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, avoid being blacklisted, etc made it even worse. Despite all of this I couldn't shake off the feeling that my mails went directly to the recipient's spam folder.
I'm not interested in maintaining mail servers. I can certainly do it, but my spare time is scarce.
Nowadays, I periodically sync all mailboxes to my laptop, so that they enter the backup chain I already have. If GSuite goes down or Google disables my account, I'll upload my backups to Fastmail, point the MX records there and go on with my life.
I find this setup way easier to understand and maintain than a mail server.
I’m not sure how this is Mattermost’s fault.
