Isn't this the same situation as with linux software repos?

Yes and it is often a source of contention as well, not only for those same reasons but also others. For example, package maintainers often configure the programs differently (see: keepassxc drama) and often the users expect support from the upstream for problems they have no control over, sometimes even causing the upstream to stop development entirely due to the entitlement and abuse of downstream users.
