I said that there is no "default" central store for package in AppImage. Which means that there is a "default" central store for snaps and flatpaks.

And if you do not like the "default" central store, you are free to distribute yourself the individual snap or flatpak package. Just like with AppImage.

Sure... by making the user setup the equivalent of a PPA. AppImage's advantage is that you can mail it to them on a CD and they can just run it from the CD.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Regarding the reference to "like mounting the CD ISO" for AppImage. All three of them actually mount one or more filesystems in order to install the package.
