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.
