some reasons that I can think of:

• performance improvements (e.g. JIT)
• new standards (e.g. WASM)
• vulnerabities
• new features (e.g. web engines weren’t always sandboxed)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda status=progress

OH

CTRL-C

Android apps are sandboxed by default while packages on Linux run with the users permission.

There is already something like this with Flatpak since it also sandboxes every installed program and only grants requested permissions.

GNU Guix

peak hackability while also having binary downloads

It’s like Nix but has some extra features and uses Scheme instead of a custom language.
