That is indeed the case, however the AppImage that I was trying (I think it was PrusaSlicer) had other missing dependencies in addition to that. The reality is that even discovering what your dependencies are is a challenge, so I don't blame the packagers. This sort of dependency hell is precisely why I use Guix and Guix System. It is still dependency hell, but only as far as getting things working, at least you have some guarantee of longevity of your solution.
AppImage is certainly worth a deeper look. It doesn't push a store and is an executable that doesn't require installing a runtime.
