I am “not” using Flatpak on Pop!

Most of the cases, those software are from Ubuntu repositories… would Pop!_OS consider building their own, or as some other people mentioned, rebase on something else?

    The current version of Pop is based on the 22.04 long term support version of Ubuntu. Its aim is stability, not bleeding edge.

    Also - ubuntu back-ports security fixes to older packages. So that keepassxc is likely not vulnerable. The package version will be something like “2.6.6-ubuntu3” to indicate that.
