Which software though? PPAs are not just for extra software, they're also for latest software. Then there's Flatpak and Snap.
I assume, end users care about specific latest software, not latest versions of everything, including the kernel or pulseaudio or whatever else core component that requires active maintenance. For example, if a vendor pushes a faulty update to linux-firmware, you may need to manually deal with hardware failures. That's probably not the nice kind of latest software. :)
I use Plasma and appreciate having the latest version. Coming from Windows you don't expect to have to wait long time for software to get updated even tho the update is available for a while. I'd probably go for a Linux distro that provides latest software updates and DE version while keeping the Kernel to the LTS version :)
