It's about trust and having an official account for packaging on each platform where my customers getting their software from.

Most official repositories have policies that are incompatible with the needs of software vendors (release timing, supported versions, bundled dependencies, etc...).

IMO a lot of the blame falls onto the package manager ecosystem refusing to take into account very valid needs and claiming they aren't real / desirable.
