Let every app haul its own libraries. Be surprised that they aren't patched and contain vulnerabilities.

So like Docker.

At least Docker is standardized and has a growing culture of scanning images (especially base images like ubuntu,debian,alpine that everyone bases their image on).

Snap/Flatpak are just an unnecessary disaster IMO.

Apps simply need a solid CI pipeline so that when dependencies have security patches, the app is automatically rebuilt and pushed out with the patches as soon as possible.

[diffeomorphism]

Right, and since this is so easy software distribution is a solved problem, bugs don't exist and tools like containers, VMs, package managers, app stores etc were never developed because they are totally unnecessary. In particular, this thread does not exist and I never wrote this.

[Avamander]

Which negates the need for containerization...

It's like saying we don't need vaccines any more because no one is getting sick.

[nix23]

If no one gets sick then you don't need vaccines.
