Never understood the point of flatpak, snap and the like. Can't you just distribute static binaries? They are not that hard to compile.

(I mean, from the distributing point of view. The sandboxing and resource management is a OS-thing that should be an orthogonal issue. Users must be able to sandbox programs that they don't trust, regardless to how they are packaged and distributed.)

Any complex software is going to be a collection of files, not a single static binary.
