Then do so. 

The closest parallel I can think of is Steam.  They are pretty much
*the* platform if you want to purchase a game; but it's not like they
prevent you from installing some indie game off the dev's (not-steam)
website; or using some other store service.  It's just that if you do
that, getting game patches and such are on you, rather than being
automated by the Steam client.

Same deal with your distro's repositories for the most part; though when
you leave the "curated sources", you will sometimes run into
compatibility issues akin to about 2 decades ago in Windows-Land with
supported software version / windows version charts:

  - Windows 9x/NT/2000 (up to version 2.5)
  - Windows ME
  - Windows XP (starting in version 3.0)
