"Where it starts to get complicated is if you want to do anything off the beaten path. In fact, Bazzite is much more complicated than something like Fedora or Debian if you need to do anything like this. Because you need to worry about either layering with rpm-ostree, or creating your own base image with a Containerfile (FROM bazzite)."

I've had a similar complaint about bazzite. Some obscure things are just harder to install because of it being immutable. But I also haven't managed to accidentally break it, like I have with other OS's. Also, sometimes my problem has simply been looking up instructions for fedora and assuming they'd apply to bazzite instead of just looking up the bazzite instructions (which actually existed and were fairly distinct and didn't involve rpm-ostree stuff).
