This is not really about me, but understanding if these apps have issues running under the OS. These type of apps typically have extra "security" features.

Such as? If there is dependency on proprietary software, you can install it on GOS if you want and consider it more "safe".

Again, this isn't about me. I'm fine giving up some convenience, but I know other people aren't. The average person is just going to simply install the app. Part of me asking this questions is gauging average user experience.
