One issue is that the permissions are hard to understand.

The end user doesn’t know, like, what bus-xyz or a socket is and if this app needs it!

The permissions may also change over time. Like a PDF reader may not need a particular permission unless you open a link or play an audio.

The apps have to be shipped in restricted mode, and ask user-understandable permissions. Basically, like phones.

I agree. I tend to avoid flatpak, since I don't usually have the time to debug access issues. The desktop integration doesn't seem good enough to give me an allow/block dialog each time. The current situation of "is the app I need a snap|flatpak|$os_pkg_format_here" seems to add a lot of fatigue to the experience.
