Don't agree with this. All of googles apps come via debs (chrome, google earth, etc), as does microsofts (edge, vscode) and numerous other big name applications. They then use the deb to add their apt repository and from then on they are self updating. Deb is actually a great way of distributing an app other than via an app store, and it seems Ubuntu clearly want to kill that.
