Nah, AppStream is fine - it's just a misconception that AppStream would work on all desktop files - it interacting with desktop-files is mostly a convenience feature with limited applicability. The MetaInfo files are the actual true source for metadata. If a software ships addons, upstream needs to provide matching addon AppStream component definitions (see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Quickstart-Addons.html ) otherwise their data will not show up in the component index (and the addons will not be installable or removable via a GUI software center).
