Linux people are NOT resistant to this. Atomic desktops are picking up momentum and people are screaming for it. Snaps, flatpaks, appimages, etc. are all moving in that direction.
As for plain development, sadly, the OS developers are simply ignoring the people asking. See:

I'll leave it up to you to speculate why.
Perhaps getting a bit of black eye and some negative attention from the Great Orange Website(tm) can light a fire under some folks.
