However, the availability of rdap is not so wide; there is a rdap for 
Deb, but for such as Ub/s, there isn't a .ppa or a flatpak, but there is 
a Snap.

OpenRDAP is written in Go; there is a rdap for Arch in the AUR.

It seems to me that the conventional linux repo/s are 'backward' in this 
regard.  rdap has been around a very long time.
