The problem is that there is no standard for all "major" distros,
as this discussion shows:

Debian already has an excellent packaging scheme. The RPM world
doesn't follow snapd, as it seems. And if you prefer your favorite
tool inside a container you can find docker images everywhere.

A few years ago compatibility was achieved on source code level.
Sorry to say, but you lost that for lxd. And snaps are not a
replacement.
