Except:

1. Most of them are bundled terribly, forcing you to use flatseal or similar to make it work - way to much to do and understand for the average user
2. Roughly half of all the programs I install are flatpaks, and the other half are appimages. They both largely work the same, but the fact that there’s a difference will be crippling to the average user. Especially if you ask them to choose between one or the other
3. Believe it or not, a lot of people are not comfortable with the app store mentality flatpak seems built around. Googling “chrome download” is far more ingrained in the average person. Aside from browsers and projects of similar scope, this is difficult to achieve on linux

Can 800 year old grandma Doris use the feature? Can the average person who writes comments on YouTube videos? Minion meme posting facebook aunts? If not, it’s not ready for mainstream.

1. Text posts don’t show up in your subscription feed on desktop
2. You don’t get notified when a text post is made, even when having “Notifications: all” on for a channel
3. The only way you’d see it on mobile is if you use the YouTube app instead of the browser (or maybe if you use some third party app?)
4. You grossly underestimate the attention span of the average YouTube watcher. If it can’t be passively listened to, most people won’t bother
