OK, lovely, so I'm confused. On my cleanly installed Fedora 31
Workstation system, I'm seeing what you're seeing. Flatpaks installed
via GNOME Software are in /var/lib/flatpak which is consistent with
flatpak --system installation.

So it would seem, GNOME Software defaults to --system, whereas the
flatpak CLI defaults to --user.

You can post /etc/fstab or show the output from df and it should be
enough info to figure out what the layout is.

Right. But that must be contingent on /var having enough space so
users aren't stuck fighting free space issues between /home and /.
