If I remember correctly, Ubuntu MATE uses its own "Software Center". I could try it in a VM and see what happens. Of course, it will surely recommend non-free junks like gnome-software does in Ubuntu, so it must be purified.

I personally don't like gnome-software very much. It (at least as used in Ubuntu) used ambiguous term "free" to denote either free software or gratis non-free software. It also has other freedom issues mentioned above. Even if I sometimes use Gnome 3 as desktop environment, I never used gnome-software. Instead, I uninstall gnome-software as soon as I finish installing the system.
