Flathub carries programs like VLC, mpv, yt-dlp, bundled versions of
ffmpeg and so on. Why is it ok now to get these from flathub, but not
from RPM Fusion?

Hi, it's because RPM Fusion is explicitly designed to provide extra packages for Fedora, whereas Flathub is not. Apparently Fedora Legal is now OK with Flathub risk, but not with RPM Fusion risk. So there you have it.

Specific packages from RPM Fusion might still be allowed if split into separate repos that don't provide access to the rest of RPM Fusion, so that Fedora Legal can review them individually. So far, this has only been used to allow the NVIDIA driver.
