And I want:

- a user-space install option

- rollback functionality (!)

- being able to install multiple versions at the same time and switch between them

- if I really need to: being able to install the latest version (and even an unstable release); if that means that apt-get has to download and compile stuff, then I'm ok with that.

Flatpak ticks all of those boxes: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Tips-&-Tricks

Sounds like Nix or Guix.

Lots of package management systems support these features. Even MSIs from Microsoft despite Windows ironically lacking a centralized repo until recently.

No streamlined enterprise support (insurance), no nix or guix, except for running ON established enterprise linux distributions.

Both nix and guix are happy to run on top of an existing Linux distro.

That's an organizational limitation, not a technical one.
