Don't forget PulseAudio, source of many security-related issues in Flatpak and Snap.

It's quite telling that a system intended to make apps usable everywhere on Linux, does not use the audio backend that works everywhere on Linux.

Hasn't almost every distro ditched PulseAudio for PipeWire?

I certainly hope so! But still, that's useless for Flatpak if they themselves don't also make the change.
