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

And this, this is why I love the AUR
"oh this is a flatpak or hell even a windows exe..." proceeds to search for it on AUR "ah there it is, wonderful!"
Hell I've found a god damn windows gaming cheat trainer on AUR and it worked.
The AUR is basically just a script that describes best case scenario for building something under Arch. They don't have any specific quality rules they have to meet.
It's super easy to make and publish an AUR script compared to a regular distro package (including Arch packages).
Usually they work well enough, especially things that just involve repacking binaries (e.g. printer drivers)
