As a developer, I can't sit down and make an application that will run on any distribution out of the box. I will have to worry about many flavors of packaging and search for some lowest common denominator for all of my dependencies. In my eyes, Linux user space has failed for this reason alone.

It's not quite as as bad as all that. For a person using a home computer for general web browsing, youtube videos, and email, Linux works just fine. I've set up several that way. Flatpak and snap give some flexibility in packaging applications for differing Linux distributions.
