Because they bundle everything inside the Flatpak. I don't like that,
because most of bundled libraries are never updated[1].
With my upstream hat on:
Eclipse tries to keep up to date with libraries shipped. Quite often the effort of moving to new versions of a library (e.g. lucene) requires changes in Eclipse itself and Fedora being ahead/behind with versions puts too much burden on the maintainer. This is the number two item when classified by time spent.
Eclipse Flatpak is maintained and updated shortly after upstream Eclipse release by the very same people so for now it's the best integration achievable with given manpower.
