I'm responding to a comment that expects app developers to make do with a specific version of a library. That expectation seems to be in line with that in the post that TFA responds to, which is unsurprisingly addressed in TFA.

There's a lot of "it's not that hard"s in that post. Of course we all prefer software that just works after being installed with the distro package manager. I don't want to install a container runtime to run grep or netcat or whatever. Meanwhile app developers have to balance their own priorities, it gets complicated, and, I guess increasingly often, "ship X feature to Flatpak users" wins over "make the lives of users/maintainers of Fedora easier". It's just another tradeoff, and sometimes the cost of making do with one version of a library isn't worth it.
