> And also you can find it through searching on Flathub I guess

Did you click the third link I posted, which searches Flathub for KmCaster only to come up dry? This was point (c): You have to trust that their search engine is correct, maintained, and updated. That doesn't come for free, it takes effort, and things go wrong.

This isn't a bug. Kmcaster is unmaintained and has been removed from flathub.

This only supports my point about having more stuff to maintain. Now there's this GitHub page having a large "Download on Flathub" link that goes absolutely nowhere because the package is unmaintained. Who makes the GitHub page go away?

Also, the image on that page is outdated, which would have been one more thing to maintain. In addition, the install instructions are four lines of code to run, compared with three lines of code to download without Flathub. My point stands: Flathub adds an unnecessary maintenance burden (to some projects).

It comes up as dry because the package is marked as unmaintained
