dont forget how they expect you to compile it. some projects offer a nice .msi for windows, a .whatever for mac, and then linux users just get a link to their github. i mean cmon.
compiling a program takes like 2 clicks dude
"They" most of the times is solo devs and you can't blame them for that. GIMP does have flatpak, appimages, etc.
