Fedora has COPR, Opensuse has the OBS (which also works for other distros), NixOS (my beloved) has overlays...
I've been on NixOS for about a week now and I can say I've got access to pretty much all of the packages I was using on Arch just from nixpkgs. I even found it quite easy to package stuff myself!
Same. Exactly. Packaging can be a bit more complex, but once you get it, it's great. There's even the NUR, but I havent used it.
The power of flakes is unparalleled
