AppImages and RPMs are quite literally the easiest package formats to use, what?
Not for maintainability purposes. Unless the application has a built in auto-updater, the RPM file ships with a specific version and unless manually updated by the user, it will be forever on that version, which could be insecure, broken, etc.

It does have an auto updater built in, it's a discord clone

I'm well aware. I was commenting on RPM's in general, which don't always ship with an auto-updater.
...I'm sorry, are we complaining about RPMs not auto-updating? Like, if this updates like discord does, as @UnRealxInferno seesm to be saying, then that's completely divorced from package management. And regardless, Flatpak doesn't auto-update either, it's just a matter of configuration. And even if Flatpak did, if you can't figure out how to update your computer, Fluxer of all things getting updated should probably be the least of your concerns.
