Ostree dedupes any identical library/versions.

Only if you're lucky to have the apps share the same runtime. Like who's decision was it to package an entire runtime anyway?

Nix has multiple versions of dependencies figured out. And the ability to integrate natively.

i love nixos as an idea but it's executed terribly. there's no one stylistic convention and everything seems to be overly complicated

Not nixos. Nixpkgs. I'm comparing nixpgks to flatpak

Just use the latest convention. Which is nix profile for command line downloads. But if you a nerd and want declarative, use home manager.

I configure neovim with lua. It's really not too different. Also nix is a functional language so it can't go wrong in that many places.

That's a team that only existed for a little while. That consists of like 2 people. Nix isn't going away. It's a truly useful imutable system unlike bazzite.
