I asked this exact thing somewhere else, and the best answers I got were:
- there is a somewhat legitimate motivation for fedora to package their own flatpaks in the context of their atomic desktops project.
- they started doing this before flathub was established, and it was a better idea at that time.
So, as per usual with Linux, there are some obscure and historical reasons this is a thing, but it is useless for the majority of users. Fedora should really not have it configured as the default source for flatpaks out of the box
I don't really understand why bezos would try to cozy up to musk to compete for rocket contracts. He would want to be fighting this right? Just goes to show how gutless and stupid these guys really are.
