In their core arguments, both are right in their own ways.
Flathub has a robust review system, but the reviews don’t really care how an app is packaged. It’s acceptable to take a precompiled package (rpm, deb, snap, etc) and extract that into your flatpak. And once your app is reviewed and up, no one is going to remove your app if it’s using an EOL runtime or dependencies. It’ll only get removed if it’s malware.
Whereas Fedora Flatpaks places an emphasis on standardized packaging and security. They’re all built according to Fedora’s stricter packaging rules, built with the same compiler and compiler options, etc. They’re built using modern toolchains and hardening practices. But Fedora Flatpaks have issues due to their stances on FOSS, legal issues, lack of upstream testing, and a smaller user base of users who may not know the right place to report their issues.
