flatpak should really push to make it work better for non GUI apps.
right now its a total mess both for users and developers. IIRC apps cant register a command line alias that gets added to your PATH and theres no way to request permissions for a file by name (you have to open a file select dialog scoped to a directory). i dont know if you can even tell the runtime to open your app in a terminal without hacks.
its all pushing devs to opt out of sandboxing as much as possible which defeats the whole purpose of containers.
