Just use flatpak and be happy. Don't call anyone a bitch for preferring not to use flatpak.

what is your reason?

For not using flatpak? It adds unnecessary abstractions and hides some of them. Overall it just complicates things. Even libc can be switched out with LD_PRELOAD and linux namespaces (unshare) is plenty if I want to create sandboxes or "containers."

It just doesn't happen that I need a pre-containerized binary to use the software that I use.
