I think the comment makes sense, if more packages were supported on the main Arch repos there would be less of a need to use the AUR or Flatpaks.

There are definitely some big gaps on the Arch repos (web browsers in particular) that I would like to see improved.

You're right, but web browsers can be pretty brutal to build and they are for sure never going to add -bin versions.
