The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.
I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.
I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.
While those are valid concerns, it’s not really hard to see why people use VPNs. Just look at how companied and countries abuse the internet, abuse us.
