Tangential question. Why does every app still need its own auto-update framework? Shouldn’t we all rely on app-stores and package managers for this?

It is nice to have it on ubuntu for example. So you can install latest version by downloading it manually and keep getting updates after.

No we shouldn’t rely on app stores. That would mean giving up a lot of control and putting your app at the whim of the store.
