Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

The majority of AppImages I've seen have been dynamically linked, yes. But it's also used for packaging assets.
Yeah, alright, packaging assets makes sense. I've always been fine with just a .tar.gz, but having it be a singular file without compression is cool.
I guess, since AppImage emulates a filesystem, you can also have your application logic load the assets from the same path as if the assets were installed on the OS, so that's also cool.
