They have problems with the build process and verification, also the software is sometimes out of date on fdroid. In addition I dont personally want someone else curating my software library.
More like F-Droid cares about things like reproducible builds and other best practices, and sloppy upstream projects sometimes have a problem coping. But as I understand it that’s typically the upstream developers’ problem, not F-Droid’s.
Obtainium is better, get the apps directly from the source
I actually like that the F-Droid maintainers check over the apps and warn about anti-features/stop offering new versions if they enshittify.
Their apps also cause tons of problems compared to the ones directly from the source
How so? OOTL here
They do not. F-Droid also compiles from the source, they are the same apps.

This is 100% untrue and you are making shit up.
Expand on this please. I am unfamiliar.
Its an open source software manager, you put in a source (like github) and it manages it (even doing auto updates).
I’m sorry, you lost me
Basically it automatically installs and updates software directly from the developers with no middle man
