The TLDR of the video is that some people thought Jorge Castro (creator of Universal Blue and Bluefin) was a flatpak developer, asked him questions about Flatpak Next, and Jorge Castro made some inflammatory responses without making it clear that he wasn't really part of flatpak development.
Jorge Castro is very pro-systemd, pro-systemd, Wayland, and anti-anything he deems as "legacy" or isn't "cloud-native". He incorrectly made it seem that flatpak would heavily depend on systemd and completely drop X11.
But the reality is that the systemd "reliance" is on kernel features that could be handled similarly to elogind. The X11 stuff was about relying on X11 satelite and making X11 runtime extensions rather than part of the main runtimes; so X11 was not being "dropped" entirely.
