> Flatpak doesn't require apps to be rebuilt when the runtime changes, whereas Nix would require a rebuild. This is, of course, an intentional selling point for Nix

I doubt it's intentional. Guix has solved the problem---update the runtime without rebuilding the app---while being fairly similar to Nix's concepts in general.
