I've used one or two tools that only distribute for my system as an appimage or as source code.
I can't always be bothered to set up a compilation environment or deal with removing dependencies.
I only use one or two regularly, but it's nice to have them integrated!
I prefer from the distro's repos, then source, then flatpack, then appimage. Sometimes you have to take what you can get!
