Those projects were created because maintainers want things as easy as NPM because the traditional path requires care, signing, and process. Security was never the goal.

IMO you're exaggerating a bit, but there's quite some truth in there. Flatpak has some security features and is by itself not a bad design, but the ecosystem's current state isn't really utilizing those.

Snap is a whole other can of worms. The ecosystem is like canonical's personal play store/app store.
