Idk, I probably haven’t used Debian derivatives long enough, but isn’t installing random .deb-s somewhat of a bad practice? I mean, repos exist for a reason (ignoring the fact they usually have like 3 packages in the official repos)

But even if it is, it shouldn’t prevent installing released debs you find for example on GitHub repositories.
It doesn’t prevent you from doing so. It just doesn’t launch the store app when you double click a . deb.
But it seems to be a bit better when using the terminal
But most Windows emigrants don’t use the terminal
Some things we would want to install aren’t in the official repos. Downloading the deb file is a solution to that for newer users.
Yes, depending on the context
You should try MX, it’s Debian based, and they have their own repo full of .deb, up to date, never break
