That's interesting, so it requires flatpak to install, but why would you when you already use flatpak?
To use App Images! :D
For when the devs provide app image but not flatpak or are app images somehow better?
That or if you're running an immutable distro like Bazzite and there's an app image available because it's easier than setting up OS-tree layering etc.
Or you just want an easy way to update app images lol
