If they actually did that, it would be great.
* sandboxing is optional (and in the control of the developer,
not the user)
* integrity is not assured
* authenticity is not assured
* no source is trustable
The only thing that AppImage gets you is dependency assurance...
which is itself problematic if the dependencies have security or
functionality issues. Faced with a malicious source, users are
completely helpless.
