Why is jdownloader not available in most software managers? - eviltoast

Despite it being one of the most popular and feature rich download managers out there and it being foss, it seems that most repos don’t have it ( except for flahub iirc) Is there is any reason behind that?

    it’s a continous arms race between them and the websites

    i thought of that too but youtube-dl and yt-dlp still exists in most repos

    jdownloader has a self updating function

    maybe i mean the program is written in fucking java, i don’t know of any other mainstream program that uses java outside of minecraft.
