I disagree with this assertion. Flatpak, snappy, docker containers, etc are not an indication people are giving up on Free Software. They are a mechanism the focuses on easing a developer's ability to distribute their software without worrying about learning arcane knowledge of each distro's packaging system.
But these packaging systems produce source and binary packages at the same time. In contrast, I have yet to encounter a container build service which does that. This has the side effect that GPL compliance and general availability of matching source code is rather poor. As the result, free software loses.
