Same, I enjoy the classic shared library and package system which I still feel is superior to flatpak versions in most cases, even ignoring the technical aspects of each.
Tried silverblue once and it just felt more like android to me, and I even found myself using RPM layers almost immediately for core things that dont ship as Flatpak because its infeasible.
Plus Bazzite has its own release schedule which I feel like slightly removes the benefit of Fedora kernels being cutting edge, with critical packages updated almost as fast as Arch.
The good thing though is that it's much more dummy proof, so I would feel comfortable letting anyone use it with zero experience, whereas I only recommend Fedora to those who have an inherent interest in Linux.
