Here's your why: https://lemmy.world/comment/4119679
This is kind of another problem, why can't we have self-contained one click things anymore. Nowadays its all about dependency hell, cloud based stuff and whatnot. It doesn't matter if you're under Windows or Linux still the same crap, long gone are the days when we could get a game on a CD/DVD and be able to install that offline for ever. There should be laws in place against this, software is becoming very "volatile" mostly unreliable and unusable after months or years.
Oh AppImages the thing that takes 20 seconds to launch an Application :) What a great option. Not even Joplin launches as an AppImage in a decent time. For what's worth Flatpak was a godsend. Either solutions still have the issues I described before tho.
