I think it has containerization benefits as well. Apps can't access other apps. I'd assume permissions for camera and gps are better as well.
But that's just what I've picked up unverified.
Yeah. It has easier sandboxing. You can accomplish most of the same things with traditional packages with something like apparmour, but flatpak has motivated the development of portals which allows apps to request permissions on the fly more easily.
