> I like that Debian still uses apt-get
Does that really make a difference? From a user perspective it's only replacing apt-get install by dnf install or pacman -S or apk add

This is up to the repository. If Debian choose RPM it would be as large as it already is
I thought redhat distros later introduced yum as the "apt" equivalent?
Everyone says this about their favorite package manager.
But also no: even if they spent years catching up they would not reach the level of not-sucking that .deb get without extra effort, as a result of decades of policy ossified into the supporting tools. Such as the strong expectation that apt deals with packages that can be (re)built from their declared inputs and share common build-essentials. Whereas snapcraft does not even provide the tools yet to easily rule out building from ephemeral inputs or merely-accidentally working rust versions.
The people moving OSes in response to Snap presumably have strong opinions on package managers :)
