Think about service providers (government, banking, messaging, streaming, gaming). To participate in life we might depend on some of their services but don’t fully trust these parties.
Flatpak is not secure/sandboxed enough to run untrusted apps. Meanwhile on Android the situation looks much better.
It means you can run apps without trusting their developer will full access to your computer and your files.
Just like on mobile, you only allow apps to access what you know they need. Nothing more.
