At least the climbing gear is FOSS though!

I kid, but I'm guessing Bazzite has something like openSUSE Aeon's distrobox, which let's you install anything you want inside of a container and expose it as an app. If not, they should consider adding it.

distrobox

It has exactly this. And comes with BoxBuddy pre-installed if you want gui.

They absolutely do, but i'm sure you'd agree it's a bit technical for most people

Edit: By technical i mean obscure, not difficult.

It would be interesting for that to be the default shell and silently "just work" for installing stuff. They could even handle debs or rpms in the correct container. So you could pull a PPA, AUR package, etc and could just work.
