Wouldn’t that classification apply to Linux package managers as well?

They are publicly available online services that distribute and facilitate the download of applications from third party developers to users of a general purpose computing device.

That doesn't seem to be the intent for something like, say, Debian. How would that work anyway?

This would probably cover something like a Linux based Steam box, where there are different organizations providing applications.
