No guarantee of receiving security updates. Especially given that most upstream do not maintain stable release train and do not backport security fixes.
And keep in mind that flatpak sandboxing is only partially effective and it also does not protect the data you put in the sandboxed app in any way.
(Not to mention that more than 4 billion people on this planet have very slow, expensive and unreliable Internet access, and old devices with limited storage space.)
No thanks, I'll stick with distributions.
