Sure it would have been nice if both of them converge on this.

Unfortunately Redhat is officially supporting flatpak and Ubuntu is officially supporting snap.

There are there these huge mailing threads where they talked about why they wouldn't adopt one of the existing ones (zeroinstall, appimage, etc)

imho the only way to get this solved is users and app developers using a community based format that is not owned by the operating system companies
