Full agreement here. People often speak ill of Canonical due to them being the only adopter of Snap, but Snap shares things like portals with the flatpak project. The simple truth is that Canonical has contributed far more to flatpak as a technology than Fedora has, and Fedora Flatpaks are actively damaging flatpak’s reputation among the Linux community and making the out-of-box experience of Fedora as painful as possible.
There’s a very good reason the team behind Fedora Atomic has asked multiple times to be freed from Fedora Flatpak.
