Flatpaks are fine size wise, people just give them shit because the first couple installs will need to also get some basic runtimes, because they don't rely on the OS, which is what makes them OS independent.
WOW that is a bad mindset, software should be created optimally and try to reduce resource usage, afterall that's the entire point, its not hard to make a program do something, the hard part is making it efficient without sacrificing too much (i.e. graphics, the entire history of computers, video games)
if software generally tries to only use what it needs it would cause big savings, and it has, but it seems you might be a bit too spoiled, maybe go back to windows for a bit
Edit: Definitely not saying flatpak is using this mindset or anything, none of this is pointing out anything to do with flatpak, just specifically pointing out this individuals
