It's opinionated, which comes with upsides and downsides. I won't blame the maintainer to keep things focused, feature creep (even for worthy features) can kill a FOSS project.
Another example is sixel support, there's a fork where it all works but is not sufficiently "proven" (code quality just as well as sixel being the best fit for the problem)

I want to install Mango hud so I can use it for steam and lutris but when i go to https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud the so many ways of installing it I don’t know which one to choose for pop!_os. I did try a couple but it didn’t seem like it worked because when I put the launch command in one of my Steam games which was cyberpunk I didn’t see it pop up in game and when I tried to add the command to Lutris the option for the FPS counter was still grayed out. Can someone help me step-by-step on how to install mango hud on pop!_os? Thanks.
