The reason for that has nothing to do with modularity, but actually a core distinction between flatpak and "containers" by which it's usually understood one is talking about Docker/OCI.  (Also the confusion gets even bigger here because flatpak can use Docker/OCI as a transport, but differs in the model of how it uses those images)

flatpak *dynamically links* applications with the runtime (in contrast to the Docker/OCI model).  That's why flatpak apps are in /app.

(There's nothing truly desktop/flatpak specific about doing this, but trying to propagate it to the wider container world around e.g. Kubernetes is a large complex topic)
