Nice breakdown. I'm new to Linux and didn't know about this:

> Flatpak still uses PulseAudio even if a host system uses PipeWire. The problem with that is that PulseAudio bundles together access to speakers and microphones—you can have access to both, or neither, but not just one. So if an application has access to play sound, it also has access to capture audio

That's a pretty decent sized hole.
