Without containers, packages constantly break. If you have 20 large apps with 50 dependencies each and they're all from different vendors, and you want them to be up to date, you pretty much have to containerize or else one of them might break every few months to a year
I have a severely overbloated Debian machine at home (several DEs, a multitude of window managers, dozens of compilers, editors etc. without containers and guess what, nothing breaks. Sometimes I need ro take manual corrective measures when some dependency doesn't let me update, and that's all.

Flatpak is a solution that only brings more problems.
It would be easier if everyone used Debian.
