The same happens in Debian 10, so that's not Ubuntu-specific.
Reproduction steps:
1. Download a .deb file, for example Jami from
https://dl.jami.net/ring-manual/debian_10/jami-all_amd64.deb.
2. If you try to open it from your browser, it'll invoke the Archive Manager
application, which isn't useful (it should really open the gnome-software
application
3. If you choose to open it in the Gnome Software application, you get the
message: "Failed to install: not supported". My Debian 10 VM is running amd64,
and so is the .deb file linked above.
I hope that helps!
