This means Builder shows you the runtime environment provided by xdg-app no
my host?

If this is true then I think this is OK for now, because you can develop
and test over more modern runtimes while they become the standard, I mean,
available in LTS versions. Developer can choose to release a tarball, to
build and test over other platforms.

Point here is to provide a more productive development environment, as soon
as possible. That is something I'm expecting for a while.

This is a good vision, nut nothing should stop you to develop and test,
over productive environment; then go out from it, to use more traditional
configure/make/make install/make check on other platforms or runtimes.
