Article doesn't mention my biggest problem with flatpaks, that the packages are not digitally signed. All major Linux distros sign their packages, and flathub should too. I would prefer to see digital signatures from both flathub and the package's maintainer. I don't believe flathub has either one currently.
It is possible to sign a flatpak, but yeah distributors need to actually do that and flathub should require published flatpaks to be signed.
