No filesystem access for a flatpak app just means it cant read host system files on its own, without user permission. You can still give it files or directories of files through the file explorer for the app to work with, just that it’s much safer since it can only otherwise view files in its sandbox.

As if sandboxes are some brand new concept…
Of course people want them for some use-cases. No one here is saying that every application in the world should be restricted that way, grandpa.

Maybe not here in this thread, but aren’t there some folks who want flatpak/snap/appimage to basically replace traditional package managers?
