According to Door Knocker, almost half of the portals are unavailable on Ubuntu 16.04, compared to only one unavailable on Fedora 39 with GNOME, which means Flatpaks running here may have more limited capabilities than usual.

They are talking about the code sitting inside the flatpak I think. If a developer fails to continue updating the system libraries a flatpak contains, you retain old vulnerabilities you could have otherwise fixed with a
sudo apt update && apt upgrade
or asudo pacman -Syu
The runtimes are well maintained and it shows warnings on no longer maintained versions. It’s less of a problem in practice.
