There is still software that is only shipped through:

  1. Proprietary installer
  2. Snap

It would be great if they would move to Flatpak.

Easy. Download "proprietary" installer (usually just a bash script with a compressed archive appended) and relate it with a quick PKGBUILD. Ta dah, native package for everyone to enjoy.
