It might sound petty, but there is software I will just refuse to
install, if it needs to do something like make me use Snap, or install a
million dependencies, or otherwise clutter up my system with npm or
whatever.  Flatpak is, OK, sort of, but again, clutter.  I don't want to
have hundreds of megabytes of files invisible to my package manager left
over after deleting a simple program.
