In terms of packages, Pop!_OS has the flatpak over Snap, which I believe is not installed by default. Their distro is also known for a brand new tiling window manager on top of GNOME [0]. They have also recently made a notable contribution to improving the "Linux on the desktop" experience (e.g. [1]).
I would not oversimplify it as just "repo added on top". For many years we could say the same about Ubuntu and Debian, but I don't agree with this generalisation.
It may walk like a duck, but if it doesn't quack like a duck, it might not be a duck.

... oh.
Honestly I avoid flatpak/snap/etc like the plague. Every time I've used them, some sort of device or file can't be accessed, or something isn't working. If I need anything that isn't covered by apt repositories, I just compile from source now, and have my own system for detecting updates which works pretty well. (https://github.com/tpapastylianou/misc-updater if anyone's interested).
If you want Arch with a simple installer, use EndeavourOS.
Manjaro has a history of DDoSing the AUR, letting various website certs expire multiple times and holding back any package updates for two weeks (even security updates), but also shipping WIP github patches without notifying users properly.
