and we keep digging up old posts from the flatpak folks that say their main focus isn't security, and that security isn't ready, and that the primary usage is as an environment for desktop apps to be built, packaged, and distributed.
Are they not allowed to think about security and sandboxing without making it their primary focus on day one?

They had to think better about it (or issue a rectification press release later).
