Sure, but all of them are actually universal, so it doesn't matter which one you choose, unlike their being multiple regular package formats.

It seems to me the most neutral one is AppImage. Flatpak being the favorite of “not-Ubuntu” people and Snap being only preferred by Ubuntu…but still having a huge user base due to their enormous market share.

People don't prefer snap, they are forced into it.

Funny enough I have a friend at Microsoft who likes it as a secure, lightweight alternative to Docker.
