When you seriously download and run multiple executables a day I wouldn't call that a common use-case. At least 99.9% of my downloaded files are not executables. Those are usually pulled via the package manager or git, so basically I only download an AppImage if both the repos and flatpak can't install it.

I have no idea in what situation I'd need to load so many executables via the browser.
