I asked the question because of the label “half-assed” that the commenter above me put on Flatpak. I do not know much about snap, Flatpak and how they differ (other than the fact that both are used as containerisation technologies for desktop apps and the former is by Canonical), and why Flatpak is necessarily worse that snap (by what metric? System performance? Storage?)

They are referring to flatpaks level of security. It’s sandboxing leaves a lot to be desired, as I’ve understood it.
Well probably because you usually don’t want it so secure that it doesn’t function correctly anymore.
On snap I often need the --classic option to get sth running because it won’t run properly in a full ssndbox
