Flatpak has its uses. I grant you that.
But the model of "ship a distro with a few packages and let flatpak handle everything else" is very, very wrong and will bite everyone in the ass before they realize it.
Linux was never held back by properly working distro-maintained repositories - it was, and still is a massive advantage vs what you have on Windows and MacOS to this day. And I don't see Windows users go "Oh shit, now that you have flatpak I will jump ship"
