Right up until they're not because they pegged the version of some library.

If things were so easily automatically updated and maintained we wouldn't need flatpak.

One benefit is that if you have some software in the chain blocking updates others can update.

This may actually improve overall security.

I think I just argued myself out of hating flatpak. :/

Which is cool, because that os-tree switching thing sounds like btrfs snapshot hopping on steroids.
