It works on all the major distros but fails to install

So the question is: can Arch be configured/tricked into an rpm install?
Does their installer actually require use rpm to install, or just wants
rpm to be there? Most distros allow you to install rpm, Arch is no
different except it is in aur:
aur/rpm 5.2.1-1 (153)
The RedHat Package Manager. Don't use it instead of Arch's 'pacman'.
If it actually uses rpm for the process, this is probably not the
solution. Two package managers at once is not a good thing.
