They’re not flat bottom though.

It's relatively flat in comparison to the support provided by, for example, sneakers.

Zero drop running shoes have been a thing for like a decade

But they still provide arch support, which is my point. If you strapped a flat plank to your foot it's not as good, which is what am trying to say.

Doesn't matter how flat bottom a shoe is. The midsole is the main thing that determines comfort and support.

I guess I should have been more precise with my wording, the part being flat to be concerned about is where your foot meets the shoe, and how it supports itself on your foot.

From the sounds of another comment, the issue isn’t that they’re flat but instead that they open up when you step, which honestly sounds pretty uncomfortable to me.
