npub18myay0jxlhkvmxtpvwpemns9hnn5zjdcc0sazc4kl8dwd7rsxaysfr2adp (npub18my…2adp) Showing a lit of permissions is not the same as issuing an actual warning about the risks. Proprietary should mean "potential of malware" by default, and highlighted as such since the source code can NOT be audited.
Ask people who use Flatpak how many can understand what those permissions actually mean and what they do. Pretty sure only a small minority understands "hosts-etc".
with Debian for example I know I never get proprietary software from the main repos.
