Always three ways as follows, whatever suits best:
1. Request an easy way from your distributor
2. Change the distributor
3. Install a Flatpak snapshot https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Snapshots

Users can export each table by right-clicking and exporting to a file.
Because these are SQLite tables, users can also run apps like sqlitebrowser
to export all tables in one go (File->Export->CSV).
