I don't agree. If you want to install Flatpak applications that you can trust to the same extent that you currently trust packages, all you need to do is encourage your distribution to host their own Flatpak repository and have current package maintainers move over. They can still implement their own fixes and patches and release cycles.
Flathub isn't trying to replace your package manager for everything, just for graphical desktop apps. As far as I'm concerned, it's more than welcome. I'm tired of hearing about a major release of a desktop app and not having it available for months. Even worse, I'm tired of hearing about a major release, experiencing horrible bugs when the maintainer updates it, and not having any long-term option to install the previous version so that I can get work done.
Flatpak solves all of this and more.
