Who should be software packaging is a tough problem, I can see the value in #linux distros pushing for better changes downstream, encouraging upstream to change (double click in #KDE) but then I see cases like KeepassXC where the Debian package is now by default broken, actively damaging the reputation of upstream but then I remember #XZ where upstream was left unchecked and hid bad code in plain sight and I go back around in a circle.
