    The isolation paragraph seems more like a gripe with Gnome Software Center rather than flatpak itself.

    It most likely doesn’t scale to have all developers keep track of all the dependencies of all their software.

    Also not sure I agree much with this. When developers don’t keep track of their application’s dependencies, end users often end up having to do it and it’s a much worse experience overall.

    I do agree with that it ends up being more of a burden on developers to maintain dependencies in their package. It’s not great knowing there are potentially patched issues sitting in older libraries that are shipped with a flatpak because a package maintainer hasn’t had the bandwidth to update them.
