Article doesn't mention my biggest problem with flatpaks, that the packages are not digitally signed. All major Linux distros sign their packages, and flathub should too. I would prefer to see digital signatures from both flathub and the package's maintainer. I don't believe flathub has either one currently.

What would they sign it with? How do you verify the signature?

F-Droid seems to manage it just fine. It's even got reproducible builds.
