I would prefer AppImages over Snap if I were a company.

But just to strongman package managers:

With an AppImage you don't get security updates, and it isn't a distribution mechanism.

Frankly I see this as a bonus. I don't want my CAD software or 3D printer slicer auto-updating.

Not everything is network connected and security critical. Auto-updates are a huge pain for a lot of workflows.
