Snap and Flatpak made distro specific user repositories like this obsolete

Only for apps. They aren't really suited for libraries or even command line tools.

Not suited but possible. Snap allows packaging both libraries (e.g. GNOME runtime libraries) and command line tools (e.g. htop). Although those will live under /snap rather on common Unix paths (/usr/lib and /usr/bin), it just means those will work across distros rather on a specific one.
