This video is over a decade old at this point. It's even in 4:3 for God's sake. I mean his argument isn't wrong, but with flatpacks and other formats like it existing the relevance changed quite a bit.
We just needed valve to step up (I think he mentioned it in that talk, been a while since I saw it), and for MS to just make Windows shitty enough to at least gain momentum.
For what is worth, as a user I haven't had that experience that it's hard to find apps at all. Quite the opposite. Almost all apps I wanted to use were just in my package manager. I think I have 1 flatpack installed, not even sure...
