Why I shouldn't use Discover on Arch (Plasma) ? (self.archlinux)

I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn't use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

it's a shame they don't want folks to use Discover. I'm sure it'd be great and not cause issues, and one could always go back to pacman if there ever was an issue...
