There is a VERY good reason why Flathub is restrictive.
When Ubuntu released their own take on flatpak called Snap it was riddles with cryptocurrencies software that would use your PC to mine crypto for someone else. Another reason is that the software would get uploaded under a pretext that its from the original developer but turns out that it is someone else and would contain malicious code. Those things are what led to Flathub to make these restrictions.
Now with the rise of AI people kept sending the code that AI generated without checking if it actually works and the user would often not understand a thing it generated. Just now Godot Engine is facing this kind of issue. Granted, Linux kernel devs and Mesa allows AI generated code but only if the user confirms that it actually works and the contributor understands what it generated.
I'd just push for Flathub release because its the default repository for distros that include flatpak support.
