I wonder if they'll one day just alias a bunch of stuff, kinda like what Ubuntu has done with forcing Snap down people's throats. So, like:

  • sudo dnf install bottles actually doing flatpak install bottles
  • OR, e.g., sudo dnf install tldr actually doing brew install tldr
  • etc...

I don't think it's necessarily bad as long as it's very transparent on what it actually does (and why). And..., offers choice where applicable*.

Or..., like, introduce a new package manager that basically functions as a front-end. Would that ((and/)or the earlier alias-thing) be worse than sticking to the development of a single package manager until it does all (à la Snap)?
