The proprietary printer drivers from Epson were created more than a
decade ago when under Linux there were no modern sandboxed/containerized
packaging methods available and distribution-independent binary packages
were created based on the Linux Standards Base (LSB), which used a set
of standardized libraries, which were installed by istalling the lsb-
base meta package.

Some years ago, distros have dropped LSB support, due to the
availability of the modern packaging methods. And as a consequence of
that, LSB is not maintained any more (AFAIK).

What Epson would need to do here is to switch to modern packaging, like
Snap or OCI containers, but I do not know whether this is going to
happen as Epson's current models are modern, driverless IPP printers
which just work without drivers (How old is your printer? Did you try
whether it works driverless?).
