I agree. You've got a bit of a fatalist tone, but you're not wrong either - if Microsoft or Apple announced that they were depreciating all of their prior packaging options in favor of a QEMU image of your application, people would lose it. It's not just about performance or integration or nativeness for most people, it's about the files living in the same spot and not needing extra apps to manage a sandbox. Flatpak feels like it took the wrong lessons from the past 30 years of software distribution and turned it into a platform. I get that it has to be simplified to be friendly to newer users, but it's also a complete turnoff when you want to fix an issue or edit a config file.
