It’s not about whether it’s possible to install via a single command; it’s about signaling whether its popular enough for the distro to justify maintaining a proper first-party package for it.
I’m pretty sure modern programs by modern people are primarily released as Flatpak while every other traditional package manager comes second, if at all.

That’s an arbitrary way to decide if a package is worth installing

What’s arbitrary about popularity? We use it to decide all sorts of things, including voting in a democracy.

Yeah but determining popularity based on wither or not it’s in a distro repo doesn’t make sense
