Application developer should be able to package and distribute the app. See how easy it is for casual user to download and install any application on windows. Maintainers cannot scale and depending on them will just hold back Desktop Linux

More like "we gonna mess up customer's entire business because we can't bother to give a call on phone (even robocall would have been fine)".

We are migrating our company codebase to bazel which uses this and it is quite helpful. Hermetic builds are nice and all devs share same versions of packages so reproducing bugs is easy
