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?
AFAIK pop! is not aimed to be a more cutting-edge distro like fedora. It is meant to provide a stable base with the up-to-date version of the software installed by a packaging format, like flatpak, appimagr, or snap.
If you dont want to use these packages, then you will need to face the tradeoff between the stablity of the base system vs using not up-to-date apps.
