Security. Use apt

apt runs as root

bwrapwants to have a word with you-
Sorry I tried to download bwrap but I got a virus because flatpak doesn't verify anything that it downloads with cryptography
-
This is kind of a bad comparison. Theoretically, malicious authors could sign their Flatpak packages and Flatpak could verify it with cryptography. It doesn't matter if you're downloading a "crypto-wallet" that's really just a phishing exercise.

That's why they put their public key fingerprint on many distinct domains, and users can import them and pin them. Flatpak doesn't support this. Apt does.
