None of this represents a regression relative to traditional Linux package management, except that apparently the maintainance of some packages on flathub is not up to the standards of existing major distributions. I'm guessing that the reason sandboxing rules are so permissive is because the applications in the sandbox aren't designed to run in a sandbox. Not much you can do about that until some sandboxing system becomes standard — chicken and egg problem.
