I don't like the snarky tone of the article, but I really thing you're being naive here. Let's examine the facts:
- Flatpak's intent is clear and stated first in in their homepage [1]: "Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux"
- Red Hat is the company other companies hire to manage their linux systems.
- In the flatpak homepage there's a huge quote stating "The Fedora Workstation team are very excited about Flatpak and the prospects it brings for making the Linux desktop easier to develop for. We plan to continue supporting this effort going forward."
- The FAQ page states "We are explicitly using many features of the linux kernel (bind mounts, namespaces, seccomp, etc) to create the sandbox that Flatpak apps are running in." ... and then it turns out that they aren't, or at least they aren't enforcing it.
I don't think this is stupidity. This is flat out lying to try and get mindshare.
