Not at all, seems like you’re reading things into it that aren’t there.
By modern distros I mean that for the newer variants of multiple large distros (Like Fedora Silverblue and its cousins, openSUSE MicroOS, etc.), even ordinary Ubuntu, Fedora and their derivatives and cousins, across the major DEs like Gnome and KDE, for all of them apps packaged like Flatpaks and Snaps have an increasingly large role.
I’m specifically not saying it’s the only way to be modern or that other approaches can’t have merit, I’m saying there is a clear trend among some of the largest players in the game.
I think it’s dangerous to put words in other peoples mouths and then argue against those imaginary statements, and I think it’s sad that you seemingly feel it’s the best way to argue for what you believe in. You can do better.
You have a very narrow perception of what a linux distribution/system should be, and that is a heavily commercial windows/macos alternative for people who deny reading.
That audience makes total crap popular!

My modern distros, are you implying if a distro adopts flatpak use it is modern, if not it is antiquated?
Those are dangerous doctrines when foss is meant to provide choice, and it can be a choice to reject certain groups of software.
