Both reports are closely related and may be unique solution. A portable
application improves the user experience obtaining the latest version,
installation/update of software using new technologies.
If you do not understand the relationship of both issues it is not my problem.

Come on... You said that if a user requires easy installation of LibreOffice,
should use the methods provided by each distribution. The problem is that
distributions do not always offer the latest versions of LibreOffice for
technical reasons ... is not bullshit as you say and does not solve the
problem.
On the other hand, TDF only provides binaries are packaged in two formats and
installation is not very intuitive for the end user. A portable binary solves
this problem, in addition to use in other more exotic places, such as a flash
drive or external HDD.

Of course, no one disputes that point. However, a package like AppImage or
Flatpak includes the necessary dependencies to run even on very old systems and
multiple distribucione easily.

Sorry, here we are discussing the feasibility of using a portable version of
LibreOffice for Linux user. By definition, a portable application is one that
can be run without prior installation, easy run and "portable".
LibreOffice developers have already chosen alternative installation system for
Linux user using Flatpak. Now the point of discussion is whether Flatpak is
"portable", I think not and you seem to agree.
