Appimage for me ticks all the boxes for cross distro package as its very portable, simple to run, what are devs trying to do when creating snaps and flatpack?

    Here is a revolutionising idea. Hear me out.

    Use anything you want, because all of them are safe and speedy.

    Flatpaks allow packaging together all dependencies with specific versions with the package. Snaps take it to the next level by allowing to run system integrated sandboxed programs, because Flatpaks cannot have system integration. Appimages are simply the equivalent of portable USB software on Windows.

            That is not how it works though, because I have been a part of these religious cults for basically forever. The hobbyist enthusiasm has a threshold, the cultism does not. It is animalistic nature to form and live as tribes. It does not become different just because the congregation tool is virtual instead of real.
