Since closed-source is frowned upon in the Linux world

Indeed, this is a root cause of the problem. But it is a problem. The Linux community needs to get off its high horse and make distribution of binary programs (which may or may not be open source) work properly.

Snap and Flatpak are definitely a step in the right direction at least.
