Most used does not necessarily mean most developed for.
I rely on user submissions, because I do not run RHEL.
(N.B. I am not an x2go developer either.)

RHEL is an old system, but more than that, it is also a system that
lacks a lot of components that x2go requires. These two issues
require additional time to what is needed to produce packages for
contemporary distributions.

It is open, and it is libre. But it is not necessarily gratis.
Developers and contributors have to invest time, some do it
exclusively using their spare time. If they do not, so be it.
You cannot dictate what they are to do in their free time.
