Why would anyone install 2GB of "normal" software when same version of that software available in like 100mb elsewhere officially?

Tour software relays in that 2Gb software too. You have all those libraries
already installed on host.

Flatpak is about reliable software and quick updates, so at first you new
to download things you already have, but with specific versions.

You understand flatpak when you can try software as soon as it is on master
or as soon as it tag a new version, no when distro package manager decided
to upgrade it.
