      It’s not about whether it’s possible to install via a single command; it’s about signaling that its popular enough for the distro to justify maintaining a proper first-party package for it.

          What’s arbitrary about popularity? We use it to decide all sorts of things, including voting in a democracy.

        I’m pretty sure modern programs by modern people are primarily released as Flatpak while every other traditional package manager comes second, if at all.
