Does the Minecraft launcher flatpak (com.mojang.Minecraft) count as a paid app?

Don't know. I guess. I'm just talking opening up Flathub and seeing anything I can buy. Haven't noticed premium cost applications in Flathub yet

Who would do the payment processing in this case? Would every repo implement a means of accepting money? You'd have to implement it carefully to avoid a load of malicious repositories popping up selling free apps or reselling pirated apps
