What Flatpak also does well wasn't mentioned, which is sandboxing applications (can snap do this as well i think), I use proprietary applications on flatpak sometimes so i can feed them the resources they only need, like discord, it does not need to see my files or my running processes for the running games feature, so i just restrict them with flatpak. Sandboxing is nice for proprietary software basically, or software that collects info or just any software that connects to a server, you can snip out useless stuff you don't need while it still hopefully functions well.
