Sandboxing and greater flexibility in using older or conflicting packages/libraries.
Sandboxing is a buzzword here. Look at the flatpaks, people don't sandbox, they apply the maximum permissions until the application stops making errors at startup. This is not sandboxing.
And don't expect for a second that the security will be enforced on older libraries.
Users upping permissions is not something that Flatpak is to blame for.
Flatpak has set the groundwork for sandboxing of desktop apps with a runtime permission system. People dont yet know how to properly use it.
