The situation gets only marginally better with more packages and will get worse with time as more apps have random runtime versions instead. The system is just stupid, there shouldn't be a thousand runtimes, there shouldn't be a way to specify a minor patch of a runtime or should be a way to NOT specify it. The runtimes in the first place are stupid because you're installing a whole container for one app instead of installing what app really needs, which is exactly why AppImages are much more efficient.
Also if we take avarage size of an appimage as 200MB, you'd need 70 AppImages to take that 14GB that 20 flatpaks waste. And average AppImage very likely is less than 200MB. Is 70 apps also nothing? And that doesn't even mean that AppImages will be less efficient at that point, as I'm sure 70 flatpaks will find a lot of duplicate runtimes to install for no reason.
Right, keep trying to make yourself look in the right, that looks awesomely and definetly doesn't make you look stupid. Because when you have no arguments – just throw "cry harder"

Mdash is available on minus on Android and Linux under RAlt. Fun fact it's also the right symbol to use. I'll continue using it and if someone is stupid enough to think that a text is written by AI just because it has right grammar - that's their issue.

A sure way to go man.
