I do not know it for the excact packages you mentioned but to me it seems  
quite plausible that there are modern open source applications which cannot  
be easily included in Debian (not even in unstable). AFAICT it boils down to  
the fact that some of that applications' build processes do not meet  
Debian's high quality standards (formally: Debian Policy).

See, for instance:

 * https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/04/msg01281.html

 * https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2021/02/19/the-modern-packagers-security-nightmare/

 * https://lwn.net/Articles/842319/

 * https://xkcd.com/2347/

I do not think that the solution to these issues has been found yet -- they  
run quite deeply and affect (at least) multiple Linux distributions.
