For example if a device manufacturer provides drivers for linux, or a software developer has a version for Arch, but it's missing a pkg build or config file, most users simply won't be ably to figure out how to manually install it and CORE or Flathub probably don't have any official packages for it.

There are millions of such niche cases like this every day.
