And to be explicit about it, zypper, dnf, apt, flatpak all have a specific mechanism to declare repositories and one 'update' check will walk them all.

snap does not, and manually doing a one off is useless. AppImage also has no 'update' concept, but it's a more limited use case in general, it's a worse habit than any repository based approach.
