I don't disagree with what you're saying, but it's interesting that some people might want to make Linux software distribution more like Windows or macOS because of unfamiliarity.

The way you've described Linux software distribution sounds an aweful lot like software distribution on mobile devices. I think it should be pretty familiar to everyone by now. If anything I think Windows and macOS want to move closer to being like Linux in this regard.

Maybe the experience of using cli tools like `apt` or `yum` has made people overlook the ease of installing software on Linux. Anyone that has used openSUSE or Ubuntu should know better.
