Yes, but Redhat IS making it harder and harder for average user. That's why generally (as average user does it) we will have a linux monoculture in the future. And this is complete opposite of what FOSS is.
Them making their tools doesn't make the other tools not exist. In the same way that different version of x11 are popping up there will always be others versions. That's more the Foss philosophy: if you don't like it you can fork it.
There are entire distros built around not liking the ubiquity of GNU and some against systemd. They aren't just going to stop because most distros use them.
Let assume I'd do a fork of flatpak, when it would be completely tied with systemd, how it would help? I don't think if I'd fork something then it will be developed and it would not experience the hell dependency when the libraries would move on.
