There is nothing wrong with using your distro’s app center. Often it will save you extra steps by updating things like Flatpaks as well, if you use them (or Snaps, if you’re an insane person).
I also like graphical frontends because there I can see screenshots of the software, because there’s a lot of software out there with really bad UI and UX.

Flatpaks and snaps are two examples of deliverables with terribad integration and low SLSA scores. They should be considered toxic.

Snaps I agree just because there is no open source snap store and it’s impossible to set up a 3rd party store.
Flatpaks though? They let people install packages with weird / rare / not available requirements on any distro. All open source with a really nice sandbox. I think flatpaks are great.
