Maybe snaps can fill this role, I understand they are easier to create.

They're certainly easier to create than debs. For many applications a single yaml file is all that's needed. Snapcraft can use whatever build system the app needs, and produce a snap which can be locally installed, shared privately or more widely via the snap store. I made a short video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLxqdf89hRo
