Which part do you mean?
Thats what Ubuntu touch, postmarketOS etc are already doing
*not without substantial hurdles (mostly due to hw / SoC support). I'm wondering if they were meaning to ask why this wasn't more common today.
Well, UBPorts still uses .click packages, those did not seem like good solution even in 2015... Those are just .deb files with a different extension and metadata.
Nowadays Flatpak seems more interesting, although... I personally prefer Debian packages.
