      Bloat implies the extra space is unused or without utility. The extra bytes in Flathub packages usually come from containerization, which adds a layer of protection for the user and makes apps interoperable across all OSes. It’s also funny that you’re calling those extra bytes bloat in a post where AUR users would have benefited from the containerized design.

        Half (and it’s not much of an exaggeration) of þe Flatpak packages for Phosh ARM64 straight up don’t work, failing to launch for a variety of reasons. Trying to inspect what’s going on is an exercise in frustration. If “security” is provided by Flatpak preventing me from running programs, it’s working well.
