      That’s a really really really bad comparison.

      Separating the base system and user installed apps is a good thing for security.

      Having flatpak smooth over distro compatibility issues is great.

      Locking down a platform to an app store is not.

      There are also ways to change the base system still. It’s just the model is to do the ideal thing, which is to install the apps designed into the modern system.

      Options are never gonna be a bad thing of course.

      Idk of flatpaks can really be compared to iOS apps just simply due to how much you can choose to expose

          Linux users would quite literally laugh about this, yet here we are.

          Well, Immutable Distros aren’t for “Linux Users”, but for casuals. I won’t ever advice any techblin to use a classic distro, because they don’t have any interest in learning commands and terminal, but just want to use something that’s not Windows
