Flatkill is full of misinformation or no longer true information. There're many posts debunking most of their points [1]. Some parts were true a few years ago but aren't anymore. Edit: They removed many of their examples at some point, so it's no longer as bad of an article. For example if VSCode wouldn't have direct access to the file system, it would be unuseable since it doesn't support portals to ask the user to grant it access to specific folders (by selecting them through the file picker). In the process of packaging an app for flathub, the packager has to provide some reason for why for example full file system access is necessary. The discussion to add or remove permissions are always open [2].
