Flatpak and Appimages. Flatpaks are the best solution IMO, just better than snaps in about every setting except servers. Appimages are great simply because of their easy portability, just being a single executable. I like having GUI apps in Flatpaks because it separates the updates for those applications from my package manager.
True, I barely ever use them (Yubikey manager is most easily offered via AppImage). I only actively use Flatpaks. I think AppImages should exist though, as the portability aspect could be useful (Syncthing syncing a directory with all your applications to different machines, etc.)

The advantages you speak about AppImages quickly fade away when you consider how much slower apps launch.
