Flatpak uses OSTree which has a very efficient deduplication and
deltas, so this is not really a problem.
I'm a user with "slower than fibre-connected internet" (6 Mbps at home)
and believe me that flatpaks are not really a problem, much more is
consumed by GNOME Software downloading RPMs for updates and not using
delta RPMs. Moreover flatpaks can be safely automatically updated on
the background, so the user won't even know about it.
