I'm sure it's very nice but tying an audio player app, or a text editor, an rss reader, or any other such tool to one specific desktop environment is an unbearably stupid idea and makes me think that both Gnome and KDE have made a seriously wrong turn somewhere.

It's not tied to Gnome, you can install it wherever you want. https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Decibels

I was annoyed that Gnome didn't have a very basic "sound file player", everything polished wanted to be something more, like support for music libraries, etc. I downloaded a single wav file, I want to listen what's in it, there was no perfect app for that.

Decibels has already existed for ages. I use it as my default audio player for random sound files and Gapless for albums
