In principle I'd happily pay for a good application. But not being able to use my normal package manager to install it and keep it up to date would already be imposing a significant cost.

That's not totally unsolvable. Flatpak leaves this kind of stuff open so you could implement a storefront in flatpak.

PPA's on Ubuntu would do to but other distros are less equipped to deal with it, in that case an AppImage might be better.
